Well, in my social studies class right now we are studying the Civil War. After the draft law was put in place in early 1863, as well as the Empancipation Proclamation right before, there were many riots against it. Immigrants were concerned about the free slaves taking all of the jobs. There were riots against blacks all over the North. Two of the most popular took place in New York and Detroit.
