Thoreau and the Mexican War

Today in class we talked about Manifest Destiny, then turned our attention to the Mexican War.

Tonight, you'll read Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience."  It is in the book you purchased or you can find a link to the text of it under our "important links" tab.

In your journal response, note which details from today's worksheet appear in Thoreau's essay.  Then, consider which of them Thoreau uses to justify his position (you'll first want to make sure you have a clear sense of what his position is).
