The New York riots in July 1863 are as mentioned in the title. Thank you.

The draft riots in New York City occurred in July 1863. Some people describe this period of American history as "the history before American democracy." This statement is not accurate. The United States declared its independence in July 1776. In 1789, the United States elected its first president, Washington, in accordance with the Constitution. In 1863, President Lincoln was already the 16th president. We cannot say that the United States was still in power when Lincoln was president. Without democracy, we can only say that a democratic society like the United States has gone through a process of development and improvement to this day. In July 1863, the only civil war since the founding of the United States - the Civil War - had been fighting for two years. The U.S. federal government decided to compulsorily recruit 300,000 new soldiers. The compulsory recruitment plan included allowing selected people to pay $300 to "recruit" Others serve on your behalf. This provision was considered an "evil law" by the poor in the United States at that time, which meant that the children of poor people were drafted into the army and died, while the rich could easily escape this disaster. On July 12, after newspapers published lists of draftees in New York City, a demonstration consisting mainly of new immigrants from Ireland, Germany, and Poland, attended by approximately 50,000 people, quickly turned into a riot. Not only were the recruitment offices smashed and the rich attacked, the rioters also targeted black people - they hung and beat black people they met on the street to death, and they burned black churches and orphanages. The war to liberate the black slaves in the South had nothing to do with me. Moreover, the liberated black slaves in the South were still competing for job opportunities with the white poor and new immigrants in the North. The draft riots in New York City lasted for three days. It is estimated that more than 20 people were killed in the riots, most of them black people. In the end, Lincoln dispatched troops to suppress the riot. During the suppression, the army's infantry not only shot at the crowd, including women and children, but the army's navy also fired at the crowd from ships. How many demonstrators and rioters were there? The government does not have accurate statistics on casualties, but it is estimated that at least hundreds, possibly as many as hundreds, died in the military's suppression. The injured were too afraid to go to the hospital for treatment, so the number was unknown. Many demonstrators later fled to the mountains of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania to hide in the "three no-mind" areas of the church. During the crackdown, the army and police arrested more than 400 people. In the end, only 9 people were sentenced. None of the 9 people sentenced were organizers of the demonstrations. The organizers of the demonstrations did not die in the crackdown by the army. Just ran away. Before the draft riots in New York City, some local governments in the United States had already used additional taxes to pay $300 for poor people who were forced to join the army but were unwilling. After the draft riots in New York City, the New York State government raised taxes on the rich A fund was established to pay $300 to poor men subject to federal mandatory military drafts who were unwilling to serve. As a result, only half of the federal government's plan to force 300,000 soldiers to serve was completed, and many of the half of those who enlisted were "hired" replacements. This period of history in the development of American democracy is rarely mentioned. However, the 2002 movie "Gangs of New York" used the New York City draft riots as the historical background. American historians believe that the movie realistically reproduced The bloody scenes of riots and repression at that time.
