there were riots in Manhattan where free negroes were killed in protest.

Also, these riots were mainly conducted by Irish immigrants that were upset that the blacks would take their jobs when they went to war. It was not a pro-slavery riot. More revisionist tripe.

I did not say that it was a pro slavery riot. I merely said that it happened, and negroes were killed in the North because of a dispute. How did the North value the lives of negroes, I ask.
