Evaluative question:
Thoreau makes it clear that "those who call themselves abolitionists should at once effectually withdraw their support" unless they take action, even if the public does not "constitute a majority" (8). He communicates that you should not vocalize your support regarding an issue unless you are prepared to do something about it. What examples are there today of people supporting a cause yet not taking any action? Are there any people today like Thoreau that stick up for an issue and are also willing to take action to create change? Who?
