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

In what way did education play a crucial role in the emergence of the middle class?
KatRina [158]

The middle class that emerged consisted of a group of people that included managers, salesmen, engineers, doctors, accountants and other salaried professionals who worked for a living but were better educated than the poor working-class.

The children of those middle-class people did not have to find work to support their families and this created opportunities for education and advancement. This pushed the government to support the growth of higher education. All of this made the middle class remain the solid class until today because people were educating themselves, it also made possible for many people to rise socially, because there were many opportunities available for middle-class children.
