NEW YORK - DRAFT RIOTS - A City Engulfed in Chaos
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures the devastating scene of the destruction of the colored orphan asylum during the New York City Draft Riots that took place from 13-16 July 1863. The wood engraving, sourced from a contemporary American newspaper, vividly portrays the horrifying aftermath of this violent episode. In this image, we witness an attack on a symbol of hope and compassion as flames engulf the orphanage building. The streets are filled with an angry mob engaged in looting and vandalism, reflecting a city torn apart by racial tensions and civil unrest. As Manhattan becomes a battleground, one can almost feel the palpable fear and confusion that permeated through its very core. The New York City Draft Riots were fueled by anger towards conscription laws enacted during the Civil War. Amidst these turbulent times, African Americans bore much of the brunt as they became targets for violence and discrimination. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of their struggle for equality amidst widespread chaos. Through this historical lens, we are transported back to a time when North America was grappling with its own internal conflicts while fighting against external forces tearing it apart. It is essential to remember these dark chapters in our history so that we may learn from them and strive towards creating a more inclusive society today.
