Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New York and the Conscription of 1863: A Chapter in the History of the Civil War They spent a long time in a laborious search into the facts. Rising above all prejudices, they decided that the quotas of New York and Brooklyn were erroneous and excessive and should be reduced." "The riot was caused not only by an unjust enrolment but by the way the draft was made. It was begun without giving any notice to General Wool in command of the United States forces, to Mayor Opdyke, or to the Governor of the State. It was at a time when the city regiments were in Pennsylvania volunteering to defend that State from the attack of Lee´s army. The United States soldiers were withdrawn for the same purpose; and so far as military force was concerned, the city was left almost in a defenseless state." The New York Times of August 18, 1879, contained a life of Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour, from which the following is an extract: "On Saturday, July 12, while he was at Long Branch, and still engaged in this work of providing for the defense of the coast, he was startled by a telegram informing him that the long-threatened and much dreaded conscription of men for the Union Army had been commenced in New York City. This telegram was a private one. Governor Seymour never received any official notification that the draft was to commence, or that it had commenced, nor was any such notification sent to Mr. Opdyke, the Mayor of the city, or to General Wool, the United States officer in command.
