A foundational classic in the historiography of the American Civil War.
In July 1863 New York City experienced widespread rioting unparalleled in the history of the nation. Here for the first time is a scholarly analysis of the Civil War Draft Riots, dealing with motives and with the reasons for the recurring civil disorders in nineteenth-century New York: the appalling living conditions, the corruption of the civic government, and the geographical and economic factors that led up to the social upheaval.
The book is published by The University Press of Kentucky. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.
"Should please both scholars and general readers...easily surpasses previous books on the subject." (Library Journal)
