The Book that Transformed America\nResistance to Civil Government (Civil Disobedience) is an argument for disobedience to an unjust state by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau that was first published in 1849 and continues to transform American discourse even today. It was Thoreau\u2019s first published book.\nMotivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice.\nCivil Disobedience is unusual for its symbolism and structure, its criticism of Christian institutions, and its many-layered storytelling.
