Between the readings on the draft rights in New York City in 1863, the virtual New York website seems to be giving a concise and quick overview of the events that occurred leading up to and including the riots focusing on the main demographic of rioters and the progression of the damage that occured on July 13. It also mentions how specific instutions were chosen for desecration and looting due to beleif of afiliation with the Republican party in charge of the draft.
“The New York City Draft Riots” by Bernstein gave a more in depth look as to why these events occurred. Bernstein also uses more concrete evidence to support his claims giving his work more legitimacy. With more data and background information, it seems like the NYC website focused on the events can take some notes from Bernstein’s supporting evidence.
