July 1863 CE

Minor riots occur in several cities, and when the drawing of names begins in New York on July 11, 1863, mobs (mostly of foreign-born, especially Irish, workers) incensed with the inequities of the draft, surge onto the streets assaulting residents, defying police, attacking draft headquarters, burning buildings, and ultimately lynching African-Americans.
