I really need some help with this one question about "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail". I am really stuck on it and it's my last question for this book!

Think about the fact that Thoreau was put in jail b/c he refused to pay taxes for a war he did not support. Also, if you look at the time the play was written there was another important war that Americans were protesting. Can you see the connections between the war Thoreau was protesting and the war the authors were experiencing at the time?
