For five days in July 1863; at the height of the Civil War; New York City was under siege. Angry rioters burned draft offices; closed factories; destroyed railroad tracks and telegraph lines; and hunted policemen and soldiers. Before long; the rioters also turned their murderous wrath against the black community. In the end; at least 105 people were killed; making the draft riots the most violent insurrection in American history.
