Essential reading(as always) from the esteemed @HC_Richardson on the New York City #DraftRiots of 1863 with much needed context of that(& this) moment. 🙏🏽
New Yorkers, and really all Americans trying to understand the complexity of our partisan politics and our racial politics, should read @HC_Richardson’s piece today, on the anniversary of NY’s 1863 draft riots.
So often we focus on the racist massacres in the South that many overlook similar racist history in the North.

B/c of racism in the North, especially among the immigrant working class (#DraftRiots), winning the war required mobilizing the biggest source of resistance to the slaveocracy that there was, the slaves themselves. Hence, #emanicpation and recruitment (>100k black soldiers).
The Lyons family was likely targeted during the #DraftRiots for using their wealth to create political power for the Black community. The daughter of the family, Maritcha Lyons (pictured) remembers: https://t.co/mEtbezQqHw
#OTD 1863: NYC #draftriots (#classism/#racism) against the #CivilWar began when military officers had a quota to fill of 1,500 men who didn’t want to go to war and the rich could escape by paying $300.
