This tour traces the history of Washington Square and the part of Greenwich Village called the South Village.

The Great Draft Riot of 1863
|
---Due Winter, 2008---
During the Civil War, while the battle of Gettysburg was underway, rioting broke out in New York City. It was anti-Union, anti-Draft, anti-Black and violent just for the sake of violence. Bloody battles raged in the streets for four days. Burning, looting, beatings, murders and lynchings ravaged the city. Finally Union troops, many of them marched directly here from the battle of Gettysburg, restored order. We'll hear stories of heroism and courage, greed and treachery, villany and horror. And we'll talk a bit about the social forces that led up to the riots. This tour is NOT for small kids or the faint-hearted. It gets grisly. |
