Is there evidence in Thoreau’s essay “Wild Apples” that he is venting his displeasure with America?

This one is going to be a bit tough.  It's a challenge to
fully assess because the article is written at a point in Thoreau's life where he is not
as animated by the political struggle as much as he is the natural one.  Written at the
later stage of his life, Thoreau because an ardent naturalist.  He was more driven by
topics that represented his love of nature and the lament that much of it was
disappearing.  The entire focus of the essay was to extol the virtues of the "wild
apple" and to romanticize it because it lay beyond the reach of industrial and
conformist society.  This is a result or an implication of the essay.  It might be here
where we can see that Thoreau is voicing his displeasure with America, in that something
in the wild, something that lies outside the reach of traditional society, is in danger
of becoming appropriated by it.  Having said that, I think that the essay reads as more
of an endorsement of the natural beauty in the world than a rebuke of modern society.  I
don't see him taking the essay's primary motivation as venting displeasure with America
as much as I see it as representing the praise of the natural world, an element that has
and will continue to surpass the life span of the human beings that seek to control or
appropriate it.
