Taken in the entire context of the US Civil War, the food supply riots in Richmond were no more significant as the anti draft riots in New York City in 1863. Both events were damaging to the Union and the Confederacy. It must be noted that only by a long siege was the Union able to capture Richmond in 1864. Quite a number of military attacks on Richmond failed miserably earlier in the war.
Southern Bread Riots happened in 1863.
Cardiff Ely Bread Riots happened in 1991.
