What happened when henry david thoreau refused to pay his taxes

1 answer:

7 0

He did not support the Mexican War and he felt that if he paid, that he was technically supporting it. I just read Civil Disobedience and it was very hard for me to understand. Thoreau seems to babble on and on, and then contradict himself.

But, I do know that he did not like the Mexican War and that he spent one night in jail for not paying his taxes. He would've stayed longer, but family members paid the tax for him.

SO THE ANSWER IS HE WAS SENT TO JAIL

What does Malala think when she hears the news about Osama bin Landen's death?

scoray [572]

Answer:

As the year goes on, it becomes increasingly common for people in Malala’s town to blame America for all their problems. People point out the drone attacks occurring in nearby towns, and say that innocent civilians are being murdered. A likely CIA operative named Raymond Davis shoots and kills two Pakistani men in Lahore, and is sent to jail afterwards. In the ensuing political crisis, America demands that Davis be released immediately, while Pakistan insists that Davis is a dangerous criminal, and a spy. Protests against Raymond Davis take place across the country. After weeks of negotiation, Davis is released. This makes the Pakistani government look weak in the eyes of its people. To make matters worse, an American drone bombs a Pakistani village, killing dozens of innocent people.
