The war that broke out between the United States and Mexico was seen by Thoreau and other northern critics an as attempt by the southerners to extend slavery into the southwest. Thoreau stopped paying tax in a bid to protest against slavery. The local tax collector overlooked Thoreau failure to pay tax, but he was later punished for tax invasion when he publicly condemned US attack on Mexico.
Thoreau was arrested and jailed by the US sheriff in July 1846. However, he spent one year in prison and was released after someone, probably his relative anonymously pay his taxes. This incident motivated Thoreau to write the essay "civil disobedience". The essay became famous and was originally published in 1894 as Resistance to Civil Government.
In his essay, Thoreau concluded that his act of defiance was not enough to be against war and slavery
