Thoreau's arguments can be seen as those of a patriot, as he passionately advocates for individual conscience and moral integrity in the face of unjust laws, particularly in his essay "Civil Disobedience." His call for nonviolent resistance to government actions, such as slavery and the Mexican-American War, reflects a deep commitment to the principles of justice and freedom that underpin American democracy. While some may view his defiance as traitorous, Thoreau's intent was to inspire a more just society, making his stance ultimately more patriotic than treasonous.
