Henry David Thoreau was a leading abolitionist, he openly resisted multiple injustices of the state and the times he had to live in, this behavior cost him his social status and even at one point his freedom.

He was also interested in environmentalism and even questioned several factors of the way of living during those times.

<em>Answer: </em>

Henry began to be louder about the invasion of Mexico and saw a way of protesting in the evation of his taxes. When he was confronted by a tax collector he deliberatly chose jail because of that oposition, he only spent a night in jail since his aunt paid the fee against his will but this experience influenced him so much that he wrote "civil disobedience"

Henry David Thoreau was put in jail because he didn't want to pay taxes out of protest against slavery. He was allowed to do so at first, but when he publicly stood against the invasion of Mexico, he was arrested.

leva [86]

Answer:

While most amphibians are harmless to humans, a few species of frogs and toads can be deadly to children. The poison dart frog is one of the most poisonous animals in the world, and its toxins can be deadly if ingested. Ocelots and bobcats are also potentially dangerous to children, as they are wild animals that can be aggressive if startled or cornered. Macaque monkeys can also be dangerous, as they are known to carry the herpes B virus, which can be deadly to humans if contracted.
