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.

John Wycliffe and John Hus are important figures of the Protestant Reformation because
jenyasd209 [6]
John Wycliffe was important to the Protestant Reformation, because he was seen as one of the "beginners" of the Protestant Reformation, and believed that an individual's interpretation of the Bible will lead to holiness, not the Church's view of receiving sacraments and that this was a frivolous luxury that the Church used to make money. John Hus is important because he is considered the first Church reformer and believed and proved the moral failings of bishops, the clergy and the papacy.
