What group of immigrants caused riots in New York City in 1863 because they thought freed blacks were taking over all their jobs?
The New York City Draft Riots took place from July 13 to July 16 of 1863. They were not caused by one, single group of immigrants. The draft favored the rich, as anyone who could afford it could pay $300 to avoid going to war. So it was the city's poorest residents who rioted, and this included both native-born Americans and immigrants. And the immigrants involved in the riots were from many different countries all around the world. There were probably more Irish immigrant rioters than any other nationality, but that is only because New York City had more Irish immigrants than any other nationality at that time. And lastly, the Draft Riots were not primarily about freed blacks taking working class jobs from whites. The rioters were primarily angry about being asked to fight in a war that was so bloody. Going to war seemed like a death sentence. They blamed blacks for being the cause of the war. They did not feel they should have to fight for black people's freedom. They also felt they were being asked to fight and die so that black people could come up North and compete for their jobs, but that was not the primary reason for the riots. New immigrants were especially angry about the draft, as they did not want to fight and die for a country they had only just moved to.
How did German and Irish immigrants view the war in Europe?
At the beginning of World War I, both German as well as Irish immigrants wanted the United States to remain neutral. However, after hearing about war atrocities and the sinking of the Lusitania, Germany began to be viewed as the villain. Germans, although most only had loose ties with their homeland, were fearful they would be targeted for Germanyâ??s actions. The Irish, were adamant about not helping the British Empire in any way because of its refusal of Irish independence.
What was the largest group of white non-English immigrants to come to America during the 1700s?
The Germans and Irish are the two largest non-English immigrant groups to the colonies, respectively. I do not remember the reason for the German immigration, but a potato famine prompted the Irish immigration. Most Germans settled in Pennsylvania.
Why did immigrants go to Delaware?
Some Irish Catholic immigrants gravitated to Delaware partly because it was one of only four revolutionary states with constitutional protection for Catholics. (Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia were the others that gave Catholics constitutional equality with other Christians.) One of the many online surveys of Irish Catholic immigration to the U.S.A. and of the plight of Irish Catholics once they arrived here is at http://memory.loc.gov/learn/features/immig/irish2.html
How well did the Irish assimilate into the American population?
During early immigration, the Irish were largely unwanted in large cities, as evidence by windowfront signs like "No dog or Irish" and "Irish need not apply." Not only were the Irish part of a huge influx of immigrants overwhelming the cities, but they were a largely Catholic group thrust into a nation with a Protestant heritage. Over the years, however, the Irish assimilated exceedingly well, finding influential positions in law enforcement, the law and politics.

How did the Irish and blacks fight in the New York City Draft Riots?
They did not fight. There were no black mobs participating in the riot. Blacks were the victims, along with the rich. They were brutally attacked and lynched. Rioters attacked using their bare hands, and/or any other object they could find that could be used as a weapon. Furthermore, the rioters were not exclusively Irish. Rioters consisted of poor whites of all nationalities and ethnicities. The Irish were the largest group, but that is only because there were more Irish immigrants in New York City at the time than any other nationality. The Irish were immigrating to the U.S. in huge numbers because the Potato Famine (which took place roughly from 1845 to 1852) forced them to flee Ireland.

Are the New York City and New York State constitutions different documents?
There is no New York City constitution. Only states have constitutions. However, the city of New York does have some ordinances that apply only to New York City and not to other cities. It makes things pretty confusing for New York City, because state laws apply in New York City, too.

The Irish Americans were certainly subjected to a dual labor market. During the late 1800's, after the first large Irish immigration into America, Irish immigrants were considered to be the poorest of all the immigrants coming into the United States. Because of the constant prejudice against Irish, they were kept at this poor standing by only being offered the lowest paying, and the most backbreaking jobs available, leaving the higher paying jobs for natural American citizens.
