Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a reflection on the riots in New York City during the American Civil War, where the author argues that the rioters, while deserving punishment, acted out of ignorance of their true interests. The author also reflects on the ways in which the powerful and tyrannical often find support from the poorest and most violent members of society. The author believes that the ultimate solution to this problem is not found in the suppression of the poor, but in the weakening of the power of the tyrannical class. By advocating for the empowerment of the working class and the removal of the aristocracy, the author's ideas are more relevant than ever in an era of increased political and social polarization.
