The Nika Riots took place in Constantinople in 532 AD. They destroyed nearly half the city and many thousands of people died over the course of a single week.

The causes of the Nika Riots were political differences, but the immediate cause was the question of superiority of the Blues (who backed chariot racers with blue livery) or the Greens (who backed racers with green). The question of Blues vs. Greens persisted for generations.

It seems the expert is Michael A. Gordon who wrote a book "The Orange Riots: Political Violence in New York City, 1870 and 1871." I found your question while researching my genealogy. One set of my great-grandparents arrived in NYC from Ireland on July 12, 1871 on the Harvest Queen. I have a hand-written note that says the ship "was kept in Castle Gardens until the 13th on account of riots in N.Y. City." If you want more info try using Google, or any other search engine, and use "orange riots 1871" or something similar. There is quite a bit of information to be found.

The two sides were the Orange Order, who were Protestants, and the Greens who were Roman Catholics. Religious intolerance brought to America from Ireland.

The Chicago Riot of 1886 is also known as the "Haymarket affair" occurred on May 4, 1886 in Chicago. It began as a rally in support of striking workers. An unknown person threw a bomb at police as they dispersed the public meeting. The bomb blast and ensuing gunfire resulted in the deaths of eight police officers, mostly from friendly fire, and an unknown number of civilians. In the internationally publicized legal proceedings that followed, eight anarchists were tried for murder. Four men were convicted and executed, and one committed suicide in prison, although the prosecution conceded none of the defendants had thrown the bomb.

revolting or rioting

Rebellions were common throughout history, although they sometimes lead to full blown Civil War. A notable example would be the US Revolutionary War, which can be interpreted as a civil war.

Petitions, protests, and rallies are non violent/less aggressive approaches. Look into olive branch petitions. Protests happen all across the middle east (Arab Spring), in the European Union due to the economic crises, and recently in the US Occupy protests. Rallies happened a lot during the cold war, especially in University Campuses. They're just as common today.

The Philadelphia Nativist Riots (also known as the Philadelphia prayer riots of 1844, the Bible riotsand the Native American riots) were a series of riots that took place between May 3 and May 8 and July 6 and July 7, 1844 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and its suburbs. The riots involved conflicts between nativists and recent Irish Catholic immigrants. The May riots began in Kensington after tensions had risen after anti-Catholic groups began spreading misinformation that Catholics were trying to remove the Bible from public schools. The July riots began in Southwark after a Catholic church armed itself for protection. Both riots resulted in loss of life and property damage.
