New York City Draft Riots, Part II: Forever Changed
Update: 2023-07-24
Description
The first national draft in the United States prompted four days of civil unrest and urban disturbance in New York City. The rioters, Irish and working class men, attacked public buildings, abolitionists, and people of color. Though largely forgotten, the event had long-term impacts on the distribution of the black population across the city.
