What is this link in the chain of life's history? It is discontent with unjust laws - cruel and unjust laws enforced by no less cruel and unjust men. But, men through the ages have made known what kind of government commands the respect of freedom loving people. Thoreau wrote in his essay, "Civil Disobedience" that "all men recognize that the right of revolution...the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable,"

This paper will show that as man protested against and exposed unjust laws, he left his mark on the future's destiny. Problems were solved in religion, race relationships, and taxation. Leaders were produced who left a legacy

In conclusion, these men, Moses, Lafayette, Montesquien, Rosseau, Thomas Paine, Thurgood Marshall, Farmer and Dr. King in their fight against unjust laws taught us how to live. Jesus and men like John Brown and John Copeland in their death taught us how to die for our right and freedom. John Brown said, "the reason why such greatly superior numbers quailed before him was, as one of his prisoners confessed, because they lacked a cause - a kind of armor which he and his party lacked." So it is with all men who fought a government who implement unjust laws.
