New York City anti-draft riots  

Définition

  • The draft riots that broke out in New York City in 1863 were among the most dramatic breakdowns of domestic order in the 19th century. With the initiation of conscription for military service in July of 1863, a witch's brew of racial and ethnic tensions, economic concerns, class resentment, and political antipathies exploded in New York; the result was a week-long spate of violence that was only put down with the intervention of federal troops.
