Was listening to a civil war podcast yesterday while finishing fur,,, and the New York riots came up.
Although I remembered the highlights of it… this podcast covered some things I didn’t know.
Black folks were actually hunted down and were killed in various ways of public executions,,, some were hanged, some were even set on fire and burned alive.
The riots were pretty much over the draft, and things were made even worse if an individual had 300 dollars they could find a substitute… which was then called a rich man’s war and a poor man’s fight.

Blaming it on the black people… and saying if the blacks wanted freedom, they should go do it themselves.
Even abolitionists were targeted,,,
Federal armies were brought in and yup,,, they actually shot and killed rioters.
Rioters charged the army several times,, even into the gunfire.
There was even bets going on, who would win particular skirmishes.
Absolutely wild.

I can’t even imagine how the news would handle stuff like that today.

Just watch what's happening in Minnesota - they's a just warming up....

Now do the elected Maryland government's vote on seccession?

Lincoln was a dictator and violator of the Constitution.

Rubber bullets, sonic wave technology, dogs, water hoses, etc...need to stop these protesters from setting the tone for future events.
What happened to peaceful protests as assigned by law? What a mess!
