    Great point.

    In prison during his death sentence he was practically holding court with all sorts of people. Newspaper articles came out, he wrote prodigious letters and his appearance in court were legendary defenses of his noble cause.

    Most of his closest supporters and newspapers succumbed to the pressure and denounced him as crazy.

    But not Thoreau . Who wrote a beautiful defense of him.

    When the shit hits the fan too many fall for cowardice.
