I disagree. It is inane to confuse making a living writing books, safely tucked away in discreet poverty, to taking action for individual rights. Writing may cause others to take effective action but this is not real action in its own right.

1786 - The Shays Rebellion
The Real Story of Shays Rebellion - I count this as the beginning of the Libertarian Movement. MP-F
In 1786 Americans rose up in response to the confiscatory actions
of the government most of them had risked their lives to create. In
Massachusetts former soldiers and citizens began closing the courts
because of the injustices being visited on them and their fellow
citizens by a corporate elite, most of them speculators who profited
as they bought up the Notes for Consolidating State Debt issued to
former soldiers to be honored in the future. The bicameral General
Court for Massachusetts was then writing laws which made it
impossible for some of these men, now farming and struggling to feed
their families, to keep their property. The Notes could not be used,
even to pay taxes. Most were sold at a tenth their face value so
these honest, hard-working people could survive.
It was wrong – and the many pleas over a period of years did not move those in power to change what they had created when the Massachusetts Constitution was voted on in 1780. That winter had been so severe few towns in the West could make their way through the snow to vote.
So citing the Declaration, men took up arms, closed the courts, which they had done prior to the Revolution for the same reasons. A minority of these men where struggling farmers, most of whom had served. But many were more well-to-do, respected Veterans, decorated for bravery, who returned home to continue their lives as leading citizens in their communities. The Regulators, which is what these rebels called themselves, were numbered in the thousands.
Read Shays Rebellion by Leonard L. Richards. Professor Richards was surprised when he finally did the research to see the story he thought he knew well was created to hide the truth about this rising of the people in protection of their rights.
The People lost, some fled, but most of then conceded and returned to live out their lives.

The ideas of freedom and individual rights continued to be at issue through the Transcendentalist Movement. The non-violent struggle to end slavery, the unending campaign by activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, the movement to allow women to become educated, hold professional jobs in their own right, all of these continued in parallel. Activists risked their lives to maintain safe houses for slaves, which today we know as the Underground Rail Road.
These upheld the principles of individual ownership and the sovereignty of the individual against a White Male Elite who were determined to continue to steal the lives of others.
The failure of enough people to see and understand the principles which today we understand as 'Libertarianism,' caused many to turn away and adopt collectivism. When we refuse to honor the rights of all as equal then we destroy trust in the truth of our spoken and written words. Action speaks most loudly and i - n this period too many people today identified as Libertarians failed to act in support of their own principles.
