Avenue The Conscription Act of 1863 exacerbated tense relationships. This act made all white men between the ages of twenty and forty-five years eligible for the draft by the Union Army. Free African American men were permitted to "volunteer" to fight in the Civil War through the provisions of the Emancipation Proclamation. However, African American men were not drafted or otherwise forced to fight. In addition, white men with money could illegally bribe doctors for medical exemptions, legally hire a substitute, or pay for a commutation of a draft. The less affluent could not afford to pay for deferments. The inequities in draft eligibility between African Americans, monied whites, and working-class whites, of whom many were Irish, increased racial tensions.
Several cities suffered draft riots in which enrollment officers and free African Americans were targeted for violence. The largest such incident began on June 11, 1863, in New York City when more than 100 people were murdered by an angry mob. After burning down a draft office and attacking police officers and well-dressed whites, this mob of white workers, including many Irish Americans, focused its energy on killing African American bystand Avenue The Conscription Act of 1863 exacerbated tense relationships.

The Treaty of Paris of 1783 failed to resolve, or in some cases helped to create, strain among the United States, England, and Spain by creating disputes over boundaries of land between England and the US, creating tension over trade between England and the US, and creating tension over the Florida boundary and rights.
The ideas behind the Boston Tea Party can still be seen in politics today. The Sons of Liberty were angry about unfair government, so they protested through the destruction of government property. If, in modern day, the government was as unfair as it was during colonial times then these forms of protest would surely be popular. However, it is extremely unlikely that everyone would support it. Even back at the real Boston Tea Party a group called the loyalist did not support the Sons of Liberty. Similar groups would most likely form that would also disagree with a modern-day Boston Tea Party.
