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

Cause and Effect: What innovation led to the development of factories in Manchester?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The most direct cause of the development of factories in Manchester (the first industrial city in the world), was the invention of the spinning jenny by James Hargreaves, and the invention of the water frame by Richard Arkwright.

These two inventions made the production of cloth from cotton a lot of faster and easier. Shortly after, these two inventors founded factories in Manchester, and hired people from the countryside.

From this moment on, the industry boomed, and Manchester became the first industrial city in the world, effectively starting the Industrial Revolution.

jekas [21]
