<span>How Thoreau protested
Thoreau was thrown in jail for a night because he refused to pay the poll tax. This refusal was his way of protesting the government. His belief was that he did not want to support a government that supported a person being an "agent of injustice to another". In Thoreau's mind the people were being injustice towards slaves and slavery needed to be abolished. While he did speak out for the end of slavery, he also protested by refusing to pay the poll tax and was thus thrown in jail.
