EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "NY: DRAFT RESUMPTION, 1863" captures a significant moment in American history. Depicting the resumption of the draft in New York City on August 19,1863, this contemporary engraving offers a glimpse into the aftermath of the notorious New York City Draft Riots that took place from July 13 to July 16,1863. Inside the Provost Marshals office, where tensions ran high and emotions were still raw, this image showcases a scene filled with both apprehension and determination. The crowd gathered outside reflects the diverse fabric of society during that time - men from all walks of life can be seen standing together on the city streets. This engraving serves as a reminder of one of America's darkest chapters - the Civil War. It symbolizes not only the conflict between North and South but also highlights internal divisions within Northern states themselves. The draft riot was an expression of frustration and anger towards conscription policies imposed by President Lincoln's administration. In Manhattan, amidst these turbulent times, brave men stepped forward to enforce order as provost marshals. Their duty was to ensure compliance with conscription laws while maintaining peace within their communities. This powerful image encapsulates a pivotal moment in American history when civil unrest threatened to tear apart a nation already torn by war. It stands as a testament to resilience and unity amidst chaos – reminding us how far we have come since those tumultuous days.
