Explanation:
The chosen excerpt refers to one of the many grievances listed by the colonists against King George III and the British government in the Declaration of Independence. Specifically, it addressed the unfair trials to which many colonists were subjected (they were sent to England, under false claims and judged without a trial by jury). The Sixth Amendment, in addition to establishing the right to a speedy and public trial, to call witnesses, and to have an impartial jury, established that any crime should be judged in the same jurisdiction where it was committed.
The correct answer is "the Civil War."
The statement above refers to conscription during the Civil War conflict.

However, there was a possibility to pay $300 to get a substitution. This, of course, to avoid being drafted. And that is when the problem started. New Yorkers were upset at the decision and many of them took the streets to protest. People from New York protested in violent ways. Government officials, black people, and even Protestant clergy received aggressions from protesters.
