Resistance to Civil Government, called Civil Disobedience for short, is an essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau that was first published in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican - American War (1846 - 1848).

La Guerra Civile americana era "civile" solo per gli unionisti del nord, che ritenevano gli Stati Uniti una nazione indivisibile e i secessionisti traditori dei loro concittadini e del governo legittimo. Per i dirigenti del sud si trattava invece di una guerra fra gli stati o per l'indipendenza meridionale; per loro gli Stati Uniti erano ancora una confederazione oppure, per alcuni, contenevano non una ma due nazioni distinte.

La strage di San Bartolomeo è il più celebre episodio delle guerre civili e religiose del Cinquecento. L'assassinio di migliaia di protestanti disarmati da parte di civili e militari cattolici, nell'agosto 1572, ha aperto un dibattito inesauribile per individuare le cause, i responsabili politici e morali, gli esecutori. Gli intellettuali illuministi videro in esso l'epitome degli orrori provocati dal fanatismo e dal pregiudizio. All'epoca, le reazioni all'evento furono però differenti.

The secession of the South was one of the seminal events in American history, but it also remains one of the most controversial.

According to Michael Savage, our nation is in real trouble and the seeds of a second conflagration have been sown. Not between the states - but between true patriots who believe in our nation's founding principles and those he believes are working every day to undermine them and change the very nature of the country. Not a war of bullets and blood - but one of commitment to freedom and courage of conviction. Michael Savage is convinced that we face more than just political differences now.

«I giornali e i media parlano solo di temi politicamente corretti. Non si può scherzare più su nulla. Se usi espressioni come "signore e signori" vieni accusato di non essere inclusivo. La famiglia è quella composta da madre e padre, basta con la lobby gay! Viviamo in una dittatura del pensiero unico e nessuno lo dice.» È davvero così? Ogni volta che in Italia si prova a fare un passo avanti nel campo dei diritti civili o si lotta per la difesa o l'empowerment di quelle che definiamo minoranze, qualcuno immediatamente protesta: «Ma non ci sono cose più importanti?».
