Answer 2

hi! i believe it would be henry david thoreau, as he wrote a lot of pieces protesting the us-mexican war and methods of government, as he was an abolitionist and opposed us expansion. i hope this helps, and let me know if you need anymore info! i would urge you to check out his work “civil disobedience,” as that explains his reasoning for protesting the war and the government as a whole.
