This is an early draft version of a dissertation chapter, part of a research project that explores multiple riots triggered by the military draft across the Union during the American Civil War. The dissertation seeks to understand the multiple pressures behind violent dissent that is all too often assumed to be isolated to New York City in the summer of 1863. This exhibit focuses on one of those riots that took place in Port Washington, Wisconsin in the fall of 1862.
