Download or read book A Yankee in Canada with Anti Slavery and Reform Papers Original Classics written by Henry David Thoreau and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Yankee in Canada, with Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers is an anthology of works by Henry David Thoreau, edited by his sister Sophia Thoreau and his friends William Ellery Channing and Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was published in 1866, after Thoreau's death, by Ticknor and Fields, the Boston firm that had published Walden...In the first essay, "A Yankee in Canada,"Thoreau writes about his journey to the region of Montreal and Quebec in the Fall of 1850. The essay comprises five chapters, three of which were previously published in 1853 in Putnam's Magazine under the title "An Excursion to Canada." (Thoreau withheld the remaining two chapters following an editorial dispute with George William Curtis, his editor at the magazine.) Henry David Thoreau (see name pronunciation; July 12, 1817 - May 6, 1862) was an American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian. A leading transcendentalist, Thoreau is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay Resistance to Civil Government (also known as Civil Disobedience), an argument for disobedience to an unjust state. Thoreau's books, articles, essays, journals, and poetry total over 20 volumes. Among his lasting contributions are his writings on natural history and philosophy, where he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history, two sources of modern-day environmentalism. His literary style interweaves close natural observation, personal experience, pointed rhetoric, symbolic meanings, and historical lore, while displaying a poetic sensibility, philosophical austerity, and "Yankee" love of practical detail.He was also deeply interested in the idea of survival in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay; at the same time he advocated abandoning waste and illusion in order to discover life's true essential needs. He was a lifelong abolitionist, delivering lectures that attacked the Fugitive Slave Law while praising the writings of Wendell Phillips and defending abolitionist John Brown. Thoreau's philosophy of civil disobedience later influenced the political thoughts and actions of such notable figures as Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Thoreau is sometimes cited as an anarchist.Though Civil Disobedience seems to call for improving rather than abolishing government-"I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government"the direction of this improvement points toward anarchism: "'That government is best which governs not at all;' and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have." Richard T. Drinnon reproaches Thoreau for his ambiguity when writing on governance, noting that Thoreau's "sly satire, his liking for wide margins for his writing, and his fondness for paradox provided ammunition for widely divergent interpretations of 'Civil Disobedience'.""

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Yankee in Canada: Illustrated and Annotated Edition by Henry David Thoreau. Henry Thoreau traveled to Canada from September 25 to October 2, 1850. His account was first published serially in 1853, in Putnam's Monthly, as "An Excursion to Canada," then in book form in 1866, in A Yankee in Canada, with Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers. In the summer of 1846, tax collector Samuel Staples arrested Thoreau for his refusal to pay the poll tax, interrupting Thoreau's tranquil residence at Walden Pond for a day. Thoreau had not paid the tax for several years, as a form of protest against slavery and the government's recent declaration of war against Mexico. The townspeople were so curious about Thoreau's refusal that he felt compelled to explain his actions in a public lecture in January 1848. It is here collected for the first time in book form under its now-famous title, "Civil Disobedience."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around 1,500 copies of this first edition of Thoreau?s work exist today. While "A Yankee in Canada" is an interesting and valuable account of Thoreau?s trip to the north, the true value of this book lies in the second half among the "Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers." It is the first time that Thoreau?s essay "Civil Disobedience" was published in book form. Thoreau was a lifelong abolitionist who refused any government that supported the institution of slavery. He held that the best government is the one that governs the least. A government of the majority does not make it right because a majority does not guarantee morality. "Civil Disobedience" has inspired countless people through history, including some of the world?s greatest moral leaders like Mahatma Ghandi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and President John F. Kennedy.
