could it be because:
a. SMART northern boys didn't want to suffer, bleed & die for lincoln's EGOmania & lust for POWER & MONEY???
b. further, that they thought the war was UNJUST & needLESS??? and/or, perhaps,
c. they thought that a union that had to be "preserved" by force of arms was NOT worth "preserving"???
UNfortunately the "draft riots" happened where SEVERAL HUNDRED unarmed, INNOCENT, uninvolved, Black men,women & children were HANGED, rather than the TYRANT & "his merry band of thugs, profiteers & thugs"!!!
according to a FIRST PERSON account in the New York Post,published the next day after the FIRST day of the Draft Riots, "the bodies of coloured men decorated every lamppost for MILES." (the number "lynched" MAY have been as many as 2-3 THOUSAND hanged,burned and/or beaten to death!!!)
NONE of the victims deserved hanging/burning/shooting/beating. lincoln & his henchmen DID deserve that treatment!!!

The CSA had a DRAFT except for big slavers.
The New York rioters were the Democrat FRIENDS of the SOUTH.
But LIARS refuse to admit the truth.
