The New York City Draft Riot begins: working class State sovereign Citizens of European heritage upset with military draft’s (involuntary servitude) disparate impact on the poor set fire to the Provost Marshal’s (conscription) Office at the Intersection of Third Avenue and 47th Street.
Postscript: The rioting went on for a week, until it was finally subdued by compulsory Union veterans of the Battle of Gettysburg. An estimated 2,000,000 Dollars in property was destroyed, and 120 lives lost. But the patriotism against government tyranny quickly turned ugly, when rioters began looting stores, lynching (executing without due process) freedmen and burning the Colored Orphan Asylum.
