How did thoreau's "civil disobedience" pave the way for significant events later in history?

Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" inspired the organization of non-violent protests, which was an idea used by Martin Luther King, Jr. and Gandhi. The central idea focuses on the duty of the public to refuse (in a civil and non-violent way) to support a government that has proven to refuse to improve itself.
