Reading this today: "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1849.
Thoreau was interested in right and wrong. He considered slavery to be wrong. Slavery was legal in the society he lived in (USA 1849).
"Under a government which imprisons anyone unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison."
If you lived in a society upholding something as appalling as slavery, would you still support that state by paying taxes?
A relevant question, then and now.
