EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Armory, Corner of Seventh Avenue and Thirty-Fifth Street, scene from the Draft Riots in New York City, 1863" takes us back to a tumultuous period in American history. The lithograph depicts the chaos and violence that erupted during the Draft Riots of 1863. In this image, we see a scene filled with prisoners, horse-drawn carriages, and protesters amidst social unrest. The atmosphere is volatile as lawmen and federal officials attempt to maintain order while soldiers stand guard. This moment captures the reign of terror that gripped New York City during those fateful days in July. The riots were sparked by President Abraham Lincoln's Enrollment Act which enforced conscription for the Civil War. Fueled by anger over wealthier men being able to avoid service through commutation fees, mostly poor Irish Americans took to the streets in protest. Tragically, their frustration turned towards targeting African Americans resulting in further violence. As tensions escalated, Federal Troops were called upon to restore peace and protect innocent lives. This photograph serves as a reminder of one of America's darkest chapters when internal strife threatened unity. Through this powerful image captured by an anonymous 19th-century American School artist and preserved by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester Massachusetts, we gain insight into a pivotal moment that shaped our nation's history forever.
