How did the poor citizens of New York City respond to draft laws?

History
1 answer:
Andre45 [30]3 years ago
6 0
The poor citizens of New York City responded to the draft laws by instigating riots that lasted for four days.

They were in vehement opposition to the military draft acts that allow men from wealthy families to pay a certain amount so avoid being called into service. Also, African-Americans are not considered to be American citizens; thus, they are exempted from being called into military service. Because of this, those who can't afford to pay are called to military service leaving their families to fend for themselves during a time of uncertainty and hardship.

Is it fair that third party candidates take away from the two political parties why or why not
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

it is fair, third party candidates decide who to vote for so there would be a competition between the Democratic party and the Republican party it is also not fair because even though you can vote for a third party candidate, they cannot win the election so if you vote for a third party candidate, you are basically wasting your vote.

Explanation:

My answer is no, it is not fair and for example, the 2016 election, we had our Democrat: Hillary Clinton and our Republican: Donald Trump, and then we had a third party candidate: which was D88z N8ts funny ig but he was voted by over 9% of people who voted in the election, therefore people wasted their vote on him just to be funny i guess but those votes could have gone to another candidate.
