Based on evidence of his personality in "Civil Disobedience," what effect would a longer jail stay most likely have had on Thoreau?

In “Civil Disobedience,” Thoreau presents himself as committed to resisting a government he believes acts unjustly. His brief time in jail did not make him yield; instead, he treats imprisonment as a consequence he is willing to accept rather than obeying an unjust demand. A longer stay would most likely have strengthened his determination to assert his rights, not made him pay the poll tax.
