Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1863 riots referred to are likely the New York City draft riots, which were in response to the Union's conscription law, not a direct action of the Confederate government. The Confederate government, representing the southern states during the American Civil War, would not have been involved in responding to riots in New York City, a Union state. Additionally, the Confederate government struggled with its own logistical and supply issues throughout the war and did not have a system in place for immediate food distribution in response to civil unrest.
