Would you have been able to use civil disobedience and non-violence?

Probably not. If I find somthing that I think is unfair and I am passionate about it I become very heated and angry if change takes too long. I don't think I would have had the patience to have been denied my rights for a hundred years and then have to be civil about it. I would have marched as much as I could, though. I don't think I could stand Bloodshed and then have to still wait longer.
