EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CIVIL WAR: DRAFT RIOTS" takes us back to the tumultuous era of American history. The image showcases a chaotic scene on Avenue A during the New York City Draft Riots that occurred from July 13-16,1863. This contemporary wood engraving captures the intensity and violence that engulfed the streets of Manhattan during this period. In this snapshot, armed draft rioters fill the frame, their menacing presence palpable. Clad in hats and middle-class attire, these men brandish rifles, swords, pitchforks - anything they can find to express their discontent with conscription into the Union Army. The mob's anger is evident as they take to the streets in protest against what they perceive as an unfair system. The image offers a glimpse into a divided North during one of its darkest moments. It serves as a reminder of how deeply entrenched tensions were during the Civil War era and highlights how even those residing within Union territory could be driven to violent acts against their own government. Granger Art on Demand has expertly preserved this historical artifact for us to reflect upon today. As we study this powerful photograph, we are transported back in time and reminded of our nation's complex past – a past marked by strife but also resilience.
