Civil Disobedience is an essay (available at Wikisource), written by noted philosopher Henry David Thoreau. Published in 1849 under the title Resistance to Civil Government, it expressed Thoreau's dislike for the establishment, disdain for slavery, and desire for a utopia on earth. The work is arguably the most influential of the mid-1800's and is still read and studied to this day.
