Thoreau and Violence.
- Authors
Newman, Lance
- Abstract
The article examines Henry David Thoreau's essay "Civil Disobedience," along with his rejection of political activity and advocacy for passive resistance. Topics covered include the shift in the landscape of the abolition movement and in Thoreau's ideas about how to resist state injustice, the reversal of the characterization of abolitionist John Brown which had dominated public discussion and the doctrine of Brown that a man has a right to interfere by force with the slaveholder.
