Henry David Thoreau think it was appropriate to resist the Civil Government in 1849. The reason why is because just three years ago, in 1846, the United States went to war against Mexico in May 1846. That July in 1846, while living at Walden Pond, Thoreau refused to pay his poll tax as a protest against the conflict, for he saw the war as an effort to extend the realm of slavery. Another reason is that it bring awareness to the issues with the government and to show his disgust to the war. It shows his feelings about the war and how he could change it. This war also upset the government a little bit in 1949. So Henry decided to let them cool off and wait for the right time.

Explanation: I learned about Thoreau in my history class and that's why I know.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
