Opposition to the War
The draft riots were primarily caused by the enrollment Act, which called for the draft of all men and immigrants(mainly irish) between the ages of 20 and 45.

NO not at all! They are not the same snake. Two different species of snakes.
There have already been riots, but no doubt further riots will be supressed. After all, the country is an Islamic Republic ...
Indeed they did, with all of the protests and riots, Rich mans war, poor mans fight, comes not from the Vietnam War, but from the US Civil War. Some people think that it was optional, but it was not.
Back in the late 60s and early 70s; ALL POLITICIANS were NOT TO BE TRUSTED! Democrat or Republican meant nothing...if he was a politician...he couldn't be trusted. This was "one" (one of many) reasons for young people rebelling back in those days...the war...race riots...college campus riots...draft riots...assassinations...YOUTH REBELLED! Today, people have simply forgotten the past, and are simply repeating history. Today's people are thinking, "Democrat..."; "Republican...", etc. Today is today. Back then, it was "he's a politician..."
The New York City Draft Riots took place from July 13 to July 16 of 1863. They were not caused by one, single group of immigrants. The draft favored the rich, as anyone who could afford it could pay $300 to avoid going to war. So it was the city's poorest residents who rioted, and this included both native-born Americans and immigrants. And the immigrants involved in the riots were from many different countries all around the world. There were probably more Irish immigrant rioters than any other nationality, but that is only because New York City had more Irish immigrants than any other nationality at that time. And lastly, the Draft Riots were not primarily about freed blacks taking working class jobs from whites. The rioters were primarily angry about being asked to fight in a war that was so bloody. Going to war seemed like a death sentence. They blamed blacks for being the cause of the war. They did not feel they should have to fight for black people's freedom. They also felt they were being asked to fight and die so that black people could come up North and compete for their jobs, but that was not the primary reason for the riots. New immigrants were especially angry about the draft, as they did not want to fight and die for a country they had only just moved to.
all of the above are correct!
Yes they are all the same just different brands.
