Abstract |
Thoreau's essay "Life Without Principle"(1863) was written in his later years, when America was split in two by the tension between slavery and freedom before the Civil War broke out. In this essay, T...horeau deplores the fact that the North, which made compromises to the South, is "still the slave of the moral tyrant" and it has committed "moral suicide."This idea of Thoreau, his lifelong view toward the men in the North at that time, crucially shows Thoreau's despair and attitude of hopelessness. In such desperate times, Thoreau defended John Brown, who had attacked Harpers Ferry Arsenal in an attempt to free some slaves, and idealized him. Focused on "Life Without Principle," this paper will explore Thoreau's :furious rage in his late years toward the government and the nation.show more
