Explanation:

Throughout his life, Thoreau emphasized the importance of individuality and self-reliance. He practiced civil disobedience in his own life and spent a night in jail for his refusal to pay taxes in protest of the Mexican War. ... It is thought that this night in jail prompted Thoreau to write Civil Disobedience.

Thoreau begins Civil Disobedience by saying that he agrees with the motto, "That government is best which governs least." Indeed, he says, men will someday be able to have a government that does not govern at all. As it is, government rarely proves useful or efficient.

Masja [62]

Charles C. Mann is among the most prominent America authors during the early parts of the 20th century wherein he was most famous for his work: Coming of Age in the Dawnland published in 1941. He presented his argument that the Native Americans lived in a dynamic world because they were already considered as civilised people, even before the Europeans came to the New World.
