New York City Draft Riots of 1863

It was the second largest insurrection in United States history and occurred in the middle of the largest insurrection in United States History. The History Guy remembers when immigrants, police, African Americans and the army clashed in New York City in the midst of the Civil War.

The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photographs of actual events are often not available, I will sometimes use photographs of similar events or objects for illustration.
