∙ 13y agoBecause they had been led to expect a quick, bloodless victory.
Even when Grant became General-in-Chief, the casualties continued to mount, with no end in sight. This looked like costing Lincoln his re-election, which would have meant a compromise peace, with the Confederacy given official recognition.
The other major reason was the institution of the draft in the fall of 1863. Opposition to the draft caused riots in New York City (where hundreds died), Buffalo, Baltimore, and Chicago. Some cities responded to the draft uproar by encouraging Immigration of families provided one man would volunteer for the draft. (Immigration was controlled by states, not the federal government, in the 1800s). The immigration helped relieve the need to draft residents but sometimes added to tensions between immigrant families and long-term Americans.

∙ 9y agoMany in the north believed the south had the right to be independent if they chose to be. Main opposition for the war came from the Copperheads in the Midwest and Irish Catholics in New York. German and Irish immigrants opposed the war and were especially angry at fighting a war for blacks, who they considered rivals for jobs. They believed that if they were drafted into the Union, the blacks would get their jobs, this was a big reason for the Draft Riots.
