Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book studies the Pittsburgh riot of 1863, defining its causes beyond the typical narrative of wartime tensions between North and South. Utilizing research from local newspapers, letters, personal accounts, and government records, the author focuses especially on the development and pervasiveness of racism and class conflict in shaping events. The book examines the growth of anti-black racism that emerged in the decades leading up to the Civil War and how it became intertwined with the concept of Irish-American nationalism. It argues that a nascent labor movement, coupled with post-war economic recession, fueled the city's class tensions and created a combustible environment in which the riot ignited. By providing this fuller historical context, the book reframes the Pittsburgh riot as part of the broader patterns of racism and social conflict unfolding across the nation in the years leading up to and during the Civil War. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
