there were more blacks lynched during the NY Draft Riots than the klan ever did.
according to the NY Tribune, every lampost was "decorated with a swinging body".
didn't hear THAT in the "PUBLICK SCREWLS" did you?

Got any numbers to back that up?
Ah, once again, watie conflates hyperbole with statistic.
Reliable statistics show somewhere between 100 and 120 killed in the New York draft riots. The vast majority of those were members of the mob shot by police and soldiers. The numbers of blacks murdered is somewhere about a dozen.
The absolute outer limit of estimated dead is about 1000, but most sources discount that as Radical Republican hyperbole. You do realize, of course, that the New York Tribune you cite was the newspaper of Horace Greeley, don't you? Are you sure you want to cite him as a reliable source? Can I then use him as a reliable source for other things?
That's the consensus from numerous sources. If you've got something else that involves actual numbers, put it up, but I know you won't. Instead you'll just continue to spout the usual bizarrely capitalized tirades about DAMNYANKEES and SOUTHERN FREEDOM.
And for the record, the number of blacks lynched between 1882 and 1968 is reliably put at 3446. If you want, I can post lots of pictures.
