After the United States Congress issued the Conscription Act in 1863. The idea was to draft many men into the army to fight in the war. However, there was a possibility to pay $300 to get a substitution. This, of course, to avoid being drafted. And that is when the problem started. New Yorkers were upset at the decision and many of them took the streets to protest. People from New York protested in violent ways. Government officials, black people, and even Protestant clergy received aggressions from protesters.
