draft riots in New York City
Military draft in the Civil War often led to widespread resistance and opposition. Many people viewed the draft as unfair and unjust, especially because it disproportionately affected the poor and working-class individuals who could not afford to pay for a substitute. There were instances of draft riots and draft evasion, further highlighting the discontent and unrest caused by the draft.
Three days of draft rioting in New York City
There were many Civil War dissenters in the North and the South. In the North, peace Democrats called Copperheads sympathized with the South. Riots ensued in New York after Lincoln had to initiate a second draft to replace those who lost their lives in the war. There was also opposition elsewhere in the North. In the South, considerable opposition existed, most notably in border states, Texas and the Appalachian region.
The US military draft began in the US Civil War (1861-1865).
