4 0

Thoureau wanted to poit to the fact that following traditions limits us and deprives us from developing our imgination. Thoreau, like other romantic authors, does not agree with tradition.  He thinks it prevents people from finding true greatness and blocks their path to spirituality. "Castles in the air" are simply illusions by which people persuade themselves in something that is not true, in Thoureau's opinion.

What strategy did politicians known as redeemers employ to gain political power
svp [43]

The <em>redeemers</em> were a political coalition in the Southern states during the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War. During this time, the south was occupied by federal forces, and their governments dominated by Republicans, who tried to guarantee the new civil rights obtained by black people. This was very unpopular for Southerners, who refused to lose their power to black people. So they employed violent measures to prevent them from participating in politics, attacking them and other republicans. The most infamous example of these paramilitary organizations is the Ku Klux Klan, other less known are the White League in Louisiana and the Red Shirts in Mississippi and North Carolina.

So, the strategy they used is violence and threats to undermine the Republican vote. They finally succeeded with the Compromise of 1877, when Hayes became president with the votes of the south in exchange for favors to them, such as the removal of federal forces. This led to the end of the Reconstruction.

Which constitution principle prohibits an individual state from declaring war
SIZIF [17.4K]
It would be the constitutional principle of federalism that prohibits an individual state from declaring war, since although in this system power is shared between the central government and the states, it is the central government that ultimately has authority to make major decisions like this that affect the entire nation.
