A. Slavery

Explanation:

In his essay on civil disobedience "Resistance to Civil Government" (1849), Henry David Thoreau criticizes American social institutions, their practice of aggressive war (like the Mexican-American War) and their pro-slavery policies; and he also argues in favor of disobedience when the state is unjust and overrules people's consciences. The ideas of this essay were so valuable at the time that they later influenced notable figures such as Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr.

A. Slavery
