You're right dbhstockton, it is curious how the most violent insurrection in American history is virtually unknown to most New Yorkers. Whether or not the film depicted it accurately it at least brought to attention to the mainstream the complex social, cultural, economic and political relations that led to the horrific bloodbath of the Draft Riots.
