The Enrollment Act of 1863, which instituted a draft for the Union Army during the Civil War, led to significant unrest, most notably the New York City Draft Riots of July 1863. These riots were fueled by anger over the draft, economic disparities, and racial tensions, as many working-class citizens protested against conscription while wealthier individuals could pay for substitutes. The riots resulted in widespread violence, destruction, and the targeting of Black communities in New York City. Ultimately, the unrest highlighted deep societal divisions during the war era.
