Why did riots break out in northern cities in 1863?
While Northerners were renewed in their belief that the war would soon end, the largest riots in American history broke out in New York City. The riots were in response to the the implementation of the Union's conscription laws in March of 1863. The riots began in this Democrat controlled city on July 13, 1863. Many believed the Union's draft laws were unfair. Here is some background on the insurrection: A. Many Democrats in the North opposed the Union's incursions on the Constitutional rights of Union citizens. President Lincoln had suspended many rights on the basis that in wartime exceptional steps were needed to win the war; B. The draft was due to the fact that voluntary Northern enlistments were waning and to maintain the military strength of the Union a draft was required; C. The draft laws were seen as totally inconsistent with American values in that a person could escape the draft by giving the Union a $300 exemption pass; D. The other way for Northerners to avoid the draft was to find another person to take the draftee's place; E. Irish Catholic immigrants in New York City could not afford the $300; and F. The draft riots were crushed by Lincoln who sent 20,000 Union troops from Gettysburg to quell the rioters with gunfire.

Why a person not want to fight?
In the Northern & Southern States many men did not want to join the army or be conscripted. One reason was that in the South, men were exempt from the draft if they owned 20 or more slaves. Many Confederate soldiers did not have 20+ slaves and so many Southerners saw the war as a poor man's war, as wealthy slaveholders were exempt from fighting. In the North, a draft had to be installed in 1863 as the volunteer's for Union army service declined. Riots were the New York City answer to the new draft laws. These laws also made Unionists not want to fight a "rich man's war " because one could avoid the draft by paying the US Treasury $300. OR finding a substitute to fight for the original draftee.

The persons assigned to the administrative duties of the Union's draft had a very difficult time and were highly unpopular with the ordinary citizen; 2. It became common knowledge that they suffered from physical abuse by Northerners; 3. Jobs became difficult to staff and this resulted in retaining administrators who should have been fired for incompetence; 4. Northern newspapers covered the many "gaffs" associated with the draft, including the mistaken drafting of women, blind men and elderly men crippled and living in hospitals; 5. Draft officials faced a dangerous job. By the war's end 38 of them had been murdered by angry citizens , 60 were wounded and others had their property stolen; 6. Every state in the Union witnessed public displays of noncompliance. Those who advocated openly noncompliance had their writ of habeas corpus suspended by Lincoln and they were jailed; 7. As with Vietnam, many citizens in the 1860's fled to Canada to avoid the draft; and 8. During the first 12 months of the draft the US Treasury gained $15 million by those buying their way out. In the first draft, the 292,000 selected by lottery, only 9,800 actually served.
