Three years earlier, Thoreau had put his belief into action and refused to pay taxes because of the United States government's involvement in the Mexican War, which Thoreau firmly believed was unjust. For his daring and unprecedented act of protest, he was thrown in jail. \u003ci\u003eThe Night Thoreau Spent in Jail\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebrated dramatic presentation of this famous act of civil disobedience and its consequences. Its poignant, lively, and accessible scenes offer a compelling exploration of Thoreau's philosophy and life.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Hill and Wang","offers":[{"title":"Night Thoreau Spent in Jail: A Play | Jerome Lawrence | Paperback | 9780809012237 | Used: Very Good | Drama 1622283","offer_id":48415049187480,"sku":"1622283","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Night Thoreau Spent in Jail: A Play | Jerome Lawrence | Paperback | 9780809012237 | Used: Good | Drama 1758817 (temp: 27)","offer_id":49191688306840,"sku":"1758817","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81xwMs6BF2L.jpg?v=1771928640","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/night-thoreau-spent-in-jail-a-play","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
