CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Riots ensue in New York when the middle and lower class get fed up with the drafts.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The violent rise of gangland power in New York City at a time of massive political corruption and the city's evolution into a cultural melting pot set the stage for this lavish historical epic, which director Martin Scorsese finally brought to the screen almost 30 years after he first began to plan the project. In 1846, as waves of Irish immigrants poured into the New York neighborhood of Five Points, a number of citizens of British and Dutch heritage who were born in the United States began making an open display of their resentment toward the new arrivals. William Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis), better known as "Bill the Butcher" for his deadly skill with a knife, bands his fellow "Native Americans" into a gang to take on the Irish immigrants; the immigrants in turn form a gang of their own, "The Dead Rabbits," organized by Priest Vallon (Liam Neeson). After an especially bloody clash between the Natives and the Rabbits leaves Vallon dead, his son goes missing; the boy ends up in a brutal reform school before returning to the Five Points in 1862 as Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio). Now a strapping adult who has learned how to fight, Amsterdam has come to seek vengeance against Bill the Butcher, whose underworld control of the Five Points through violence and intimidation dovetails with the open corruption of New York politician "Boss" Tweed (Jim Broadbent). Amsterdam gradually penetrates Bill the Butcher's inner circle, and he soon becomes his trusted assistant. Amsterdam also finds himself falling for Jenny Everdeane (Cameron Diaz), a beautiful but street-smart thief who was once involved with Bill. Amsterdam is learning a great deal from Bill, but before he can turn the tables on the man who killed his father, Amsterdam's true identity is exposed, even though he has concealed it from nearly everyone, including Jenny. Gangs Of New York was the first film in two years from actor Leonardo DiCaprio; ironically, it was at one time scheduled to open on the same day as Catch Me If You Can, the Steven Spielberg project that DiCaprio began filming immediately after Gangs wrapped.

This sequence is fantastic: the morse machine, the narration, the flute and drums music, camera angles, everything. It requires talent to make this from scrap.
ikr?
If this was directed by anyone else it’d have modernized rock guitar riffs.
And the costumes would be more Victorian than 19th century Americana.
they had to march Union Army troops who just went through the hell at Gettysburg back to New York to quell this riot. Pretty nuts!!!
Imagine you're a soldier. Your wages are late, your food is going bad, half your friends are dead or dying and you've just finished fighting and winning one of the bloodiest battles of the war. Then you get word you're being forced marched all the way to New York City because a mob of paddies are pissed that they might have to do their part after all, like you, and have set the city on fire. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be in any mood to play nice.
@@murphyjack90 Give them heathens hell.
And today, nothing's changed
@CM99501 yep
@CM99501 The Union turned it around when they put Grant and Sherman in power. Those two kicked the heck out of the Confederacy and denied the Confederacy a real win. Lee knew it was over when he realized that Grant was smart enough to realize that he could afford to lose some battles just as long as it wasn't a route as the South didn't have the means to fight a long war.
The first guy went down like a badass
Dalton Hill my question is why the hell would he try to run when he had 10 shots left. Unloading would definitely have made at least a few of them think twice.
@@vinceceraso774 Stealing and burning down that black children orphanage that pure hate not a act of people who have nothing to lose and in the end the union soldiers shot all of them dead.
@@Mad-wv6ol there was a saying during the war: The rich's men war the poor's men fight.
@@KingofChicago17 :
0:09: Those aren't like Uzis or some kind of machine guns that man has, ya know. The quite slower rate of fire of those revolver pistols totally prevent what you're saying. He fired two shots before being overwhelmed by the rioting crowd. With those guns, that was the best that he could possibly do, I think. You can't "unload" all those bullets so quickly as you suggest with the guns he has there! Since when have revolvers been rapid-fire weapons as you expect? ???
Nothing wrong with that sequence after all, move along! hehehehehe hmm....
@@KingofChicago17 Those are single action revolvers, a fast gunslinger would be able to fire single handed at maybe 2 rounds per second but he looks like an aristocrat so I doubt he could even fire that well single handed.
Lol, you know shit's gone to hell when the fire department is helping break down doors during the riot. That guy with the single shot pistols was fucked the moment that door came down.
He went down like a boss though.
@@AbrahamLincoln4 Lol, yeah he did.
They weren't single shot pistols, they were single *action* pistols. He was just too slow to cycle them. As for the fire department - it was shown earlier in the film that they were essentially thieves who considered anything found in a burning house to be salvage for the taking.
@@pbdye1607 Oh yea, I forgot about that. The different fire teams would show up at a fire and start fighting each other lol.
There was no fire department, there were gangs that put out fires if you paid your tribute and if you didn’t pay, they would brawl over who got to salvage your stuff. Sometimes they would deliberately start fires if you didn’t show respect.
I love this scene. It effectively communicates the chaos of a riot, the difficulty of communication through the fog of battle, the indiscriminate violence.
Seems pretty discriminate to me
Mostly peaceful
The riots mostly targeted black and the super rich people; sounds discriminate to me
"Did your daddy buy you out of the army, can he buy me out of the army too?!" I love that line.
It’s always been a Rich Man’s War, Poor Man’s Fight.
@@tomace7924it's no different now, just worse.
Been going on for a very long time
That went on lots though correct??? I imagine it still goes on today so some big military families names are tarnished.
@@strangebrew1231 "let the sons of the rich go and die. Let the sons of the poor stay home"
-Leo DeCaprio
-same movie.
I think in school there was maybe one paragraph in one textbook about this event. Thank you movie for giving me a better understanding of what went on
It’s such a good scene
i would be careful about using any movie as a legitimate source of information. Wikipedia is better even though its not perfect. IF you want to know teach yourself because this movie has a lot of information that is not true.
@@MrChickennugget360 I know there's a lot of artistic license that goes into these things but the beauty of them is it gives you an incentive to learn more. I'm sure a lot of people who saw this movie had never even heard about this moment in history and now they have at least the slightest idea that these events happened
@@patwiggins6969 its a great scene from a good movie. i like this either way since it helps people remember important history.
A lot of major events that were tied into the Civil War but not directly militarily linked to it, were obscured by the actual war.
You had the biggest draft riot and race riot in US history in New York, and the largest Indian uprising and battle with the US Army
in Minnesota with the US-Dakota War of 1862 which also resulted in the largest Federal Execution in US history when 38 Indian
warriors were hanged for war crimes.
I also love the fact that in this movie they show Irish immigrants being signed up as soon as they landed because not many natural born Americans wanted to fight.
That was a crazy scene. Didn't know that happened until I saw this. What's worse is they were forced to fight their brothers who the same thing had happened to them when they landed in the south.
MazzaJF it’s bad to get foreigners to replace Americans in general. Doesn’t do well
@@theservius2913 Then don't get replaced. Be the better, stronger, faster man for the job.
Many Irish immigrants at the start of the war were willing to fight for their adopted country.
@@theservius2913 its ironic because the people what you call "Americans" were foreigners aswell.
"Take no prisoners, the mob isn't."
Really the only way they could have handled it. Wouldn't work today.
Give em hell
@@AbrahamLincoln4 Agreed Mr.President. Agreed.
@@patwiggins6969 wouldn't work today because of all the stupid political correctness, definitely needs to be done today though, would make the world a much better place.
The Bootlicking in this thread is intense.
thanks for the history lesson.i actually didn't know anything about that. i must say this movie really captures the atmosphere so well and historically accurate.
Yep, this movie is very accurate with Leonardo DiCaprio & Cameron Diaz playing Irish characters…
Not only did the mob target 120 black people for murder (preceded by torture in some cases), they also targeted an orphanage for 233 poor little black orphans, stealing their food and burning down their shelter. It is long overdue to dispel the myth that any human mind ever in existence has been free of the sin of bigotry. Condemn the crimes, but don't point your finger of judgment and label others to cover for your own inner feelings.
B-b-but racism only exists in the Bible Belt!!
only the army is the true gangsta in this scenes up until the end.
Yep. They’d gotten called back to manhattan after fighting in the bloodiest battle in the civil war: Gettysburg. To say they were in no mood to feather around with rioters would be an understatement.
Only Marty can make movies this way
Genius
I felt bad for the sacked mansion... so nicely decorated...they were beating up even the maids...
That's why i felt they get what's coming for them when the army arrived.
Thats the problem with most protests, they end up losing sight of whats important and run amok uncontrolled.
@@neoasura That's why I hate protests, they throw civility out of the window so they have an excuse to make noise and destroy things.
@@foolslayer9416 peace protests like the civil rights movement we're good though. Why fight your enemy when you can make him look like the bad guy by not fighting back.👌🏿
@@ogundimu400 Yes, but riots and looting? Peeves me to no end.
The Draft Riots were an all-around nasty situation. There wasn't really a middle class at the time - just the rich and the poor. The Irish immigrants were dirt-poor and treated like second-class citizens already, and with emancipation there was a sudden surge in freed slaves from the South. The war had been draining the economy, and most Irish families there had a man drafted because of it as well. Not to mention that the freed slaves - both Irish & black - flooding into the area had no money to speak of and no job prospects. The whole thing was a gigantic powder keg ready to go, and all it took was one little match. Modern Americans have no concept of how hard things were - we think of things like running water, electricity, or an internet connection as basic human rights. Back then you were lucky if you had food on the table and a roof over your head, let alone the prospect of having those things tomorrow as well. I'm not condoning the rioting, just providing some context.
"freed slaves - both Irish and Black". Sickeningly stupid Historical revisionism
There wasn't a middle class, because you had mostly penniless people coming to America. By allowing soo many in, in such a short time, they created an artificial imbalance that lead to a very large poor class. The only wealthier people were the people who came from Europe already rich, or the families who had already built a life in America for over a century. So it wasn't exactly that the rich were subjugating the poor or even evil in general, but rather, that the poor were soo numerous that the wealthy looked gluttonous in comparison.
@@classicepisodesofcrimewatc9971 the Irish slave thing is truly a bizarre story that I don’t know it’s origins
Are you really compared Chattel Slavery/ Colonialism to irish indentured servants? 🤦🏿♂️
@@GAZAMAN93X Slavery is slavery. Are you trying to say indentured servitude isn't, just because there's "worst" type of slaveries?
2:06 I like how this one 3 second scene is shot like an old silent comedy movie
The guy with the two guns is a real badass.
Amen
Shame about getting overwhelmed though, I know some people who know nothing about revolvers are chatting BS in the comments but realistically there's no reason he couldn't have popped at least a few more
"nah, it was just a peaceful protest"
That’s unfair, it was a mostly peaceful protest.
Fiery but mostly peaceful
😂
Honestly tho it was mostly peaceful in Minneapolis I was recording the riots. People weren't attacking each other but there was arson and property damage for sure. I got videos on my TH-cam from being there
Ironically this is how Liberals depict January 6th as being.
say what you will about the rich and elite, but I have some respect for the guy at 0:18 seconds. He probably inherited all his wealth and never worked a day in his life, but he was still willing to grab the guns and make a stand. It goes along with how on the titantic, men in the first class had a much higher mortality rate due to the idea of women and children first.
That was boss tweed
Irony is, time in the military was a sign of honour amongst the wealthy, not just position, you were expected to be brave. I would assume this character had spent time in the military leading men on battlefields.
rich men back then werent draft dodgers. they did their duty. the royal family in the uk still sends their kids to war. both william and harry fought in the Afghanistan war. the rich and elite also paid their fair share of taxes back then. the taxes on the rich was 81% up until the 50s. things are just different now.
Man I dig that drum and flute combo in this scene!
The group is Otha Turner, a African American fife and drum ensemble out of Mississippi.
If the movie represents true American history and mentality, it cannot win an Oscar
The Five Points today is mostly shops selling restaurant equipment, art, and Asian noodles.
Never go akimbo with single-shot pistols.
Hahaha
The guy dual wielding guns is so cool.
Dam, those St. Patrick's Day festivities got out of hand.
The Irish at the time were extremely mistreated by the WASPs (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) that already were living in the US. The Irish did much of the heavy lifting in the northeast (while the Chinese/Asians did the heavy lifting in the west, and the blacks did the heavy lifting in the south), had hate crimes committed, and because most of them were at the bottom of the barrel, did much of the fighting in wars as well.
All of this simply because most Irish people are Catholic.
When free blacks started pouring into the north, it pissed the already beaten Irish off even more, not because they were black, but because the new black migrants took up jobs, because they were willing to take less pay (or no pay for that matter) and work in horrible conditions, because they were used to it.
The draft riots were a response to the draft being implemented; if you paid $300 (which was a huge sum back then), then you were excused from serving (I've heard that free black men were also excused from being drafted, but I don't know about this). Combine poor Irish people having to serve while rich Anglos could get off the hook with blacks taking up much of the jobs, the riots broke out.
These riots were very wrong; beating and killing random rich people and random black people only made the image of the Irish even worse (even though not all Irish people took part in these)
+Comrade Stalin The draft only applied to full citizens so blacks weren't included until 1866.
SlyBiffrons
So basically, the poor Irish had to serve while everyone else was pretty much excused.
Not saying that's a legitimate reason for going around attacking people minding their own business, but I would be extremely pissed off (as anyone would) if a thing that was supposed to apply to everyone was only applied to a certain group of people, and I was in that group.
SlyBiffrons
"Considering that plenty of free blacks willingly signed themselves up to die for a country that treated them like dogs, I'd be more considerate."
I apologize for downplaying that.
"It was more about job competition. You're already struggling to make ends meet and some black guy, who's already used to slaving away, works for less, reducing your options. Very common for mass migrations and refugee crises."
Even today, people still get angry when someone who will work for less comes into the game.
Ben Schleider
The lower class bore the brunt of the draft in the Civil War.
Most Americans still are WASPS lol even if they do pretend to be Irish sometimes. That's why British surnames like Smith and Johnson are so common in USA. Rather than Irish surnames like O'Brien and Kavanagh.

This is what's going on in Minneapolis right now.
I'm a Civil War reenactor on the US West Coast.
The unit I reenact is a company of the 4th Infantry Regiment of the United States Army, a Regular Army unit pulled from garrisons across the West Coast in 1861 to fight in the War. The Regiment had taken heavy casualties at Fredericksburg and Gettysburg, and in the immediate aftermath of the latter we were pulled from the Army of the Potomac and sent in to put down the Draft Riots. And it wasn't just the 4th... most of the Regulars Division [2nd Division /5th Corps, BG Romeyn Ayres commanding] were routed to New York and other cities to restore or maintain order.
This is one of the events [along with Reconstruction in the South] that led to the clear and absolute separation between the military and police in the Posse Commitatus Act of 1876. This separation of functions, along with 'the separation of church and state', is so ingrained in American jurisprudence that it might as well be in the Constitution... but it's not.

Are there any naval Civil War reenactors?
@@huskyfaninmass1042 Yes. At one point [pre-Covid] my area hosted an entire ship's company, the USS Tahoma. They formed about 1/3 of the Federal Artillery.

+Kilo Byte there is no logical way for this to continue though.
+eksiarvamus its goverments logic doesn't have a thing to do with it.
wabbitking1 No, economically and socially it can not last. It is either going to be forced to stop and the society will painfully integrate them or there will be a massive movement against immigrants in general. Right now Europe may seem calm, but it's rather a sleeping giant in that sense.
I know it wont last forever all im saying is when has logic ever played a part in polotics and government?
The Union Army had to recall troops that had just fought at Gettysburg to New York. Most of them were themselves New Yorkers.
Actually most of the recall units to the draft riots was part of the 27th Indiana Infantry which had just been at Gettysburg 10 days prior. There were a couple of New York units, the 152nd New York volunteers and the 7th New York militia, but they were not at Gettysburg.
This scene is a miniature Scorsese masterclass in filmmaking. Damn.
Crazy times ... The fuckin army shelling downtown NY ... Imagine something like that today
***** Happened in Fredericksburg, Richmond, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Savannah though.
Los Angeles, Detroit are still chaos haha
+degree7 Because the army was late in arriving. The truth is it was the New York Governor's decision to suspend the draft that calmed most of the rioters down.
+360Nomad i think he's talking about the suppression of the riots
@@360Nomad that's called suppressing an armed rebellion fighting for a nation that wasn't recognized. Massive difference.
Tough dude at 0:59 doesn't flinch when hit with a bottle!
I live in a small town. In the south. We got this old drive in movie theater that everyone loves. This was played there last month. And when the black people were being hung and beaten almost everyone there was cheering and laughing. Broke my heart, I packed all of my stuff that night and left. I had no place to go. But for some reason I felt like I was sick and the only medicine was leaving. I'm in Pennsylvania now. Living outta my truck. Hard times. But worth it. God bless.

This is why i had absolutely no sympathy for the Irish in this scene. Boo hoo oppression lol. They will never have the same experience as Black or Native Americans in this country.
@@pharaohfilipe as a Native American oppression is just that don't go making our struggles or the struggles of others seem more or less important
@@jasonmiller659 goin by the facts tho who had it worse? The fact that Euro Americans have the audacity to talk bout they hardships but downplay other struggles shows the very hypocrisy and they switch up on us after other Whites accepted them. U should know better than that especially after we all got exposed to systemic racism. Who is still being oppressed that what im asking u.
@@pharaohfilipe You have a point. Irish people like myself were discriminated against however they were eventually assimilated into American society and treated as any other White American. Irish people were oppressed but it was the British who oppressed them not the U.S.
Trivia: Barnum's museum was not burned during the Draft Riots; however it burned to the ground 2 years later in 1865 (nobody knows how the fire started).

@@cannonfodder8287 It’s 82 now lol
For those who don't know, these riots were in opposition to the draft implemented in the North during the Civil War; they were "enraged at the wealthy who could buy substitutes, resentful of Lincoln administration's high-handed tactics, and determined not to fight on behalf of their African American competitions in the workplace" (Created Equal: AP US History). Basically telling poor laborers to fight for the people who are taking their jobs, more a poor versus rich and competitors than white versus white. They way they brought about the riots were horrifying as they killed many black women, men, and children but you get a bunch of poor Irish and this is what happens, and FYI for anyone who knows the Irish History they were just as badly mistreated as free blacks were in the north due to their Catholic Belief and were set to have menial work, so this explains why many of them participated in these riots.
Half of it was the irish resentment of african americans competing for their jobs. So many african dwelling places, and orphanages were attacked and burned down.
cominroitover80 Italians in New York City would beat up blacks if they came into their neighborhoods. Ever hear of Howard Beach? Bensonhurst? It wasn’t just the Irish.
Does everyone forgets that in the Confederacy that did used the conscription system as well? It was shown in Free States of Jones as well.
The Irish get no sympathy from me, oh yeah they were sooooo oppressed
@@Dankdalorde they were at the time, they were also indentured servants essential slaves. Let me guess you sympathize with America’s perpetual victim class tho right? Lmao 🤦🏽♂️
0:34 This is what happening in a police precinct in Minneapolis
Hell no buddy, I think you mean Minneapolis.
One of the Union officers in the Draft Riots was Edward Richard Sprigg Canby who was in New Mexico campaign back in 1861 to 1862. It is a surprised that he was in the Draft riots was the overall commander of defenses of New York city.
Canby? Seriously?

This will most likely happen soon. I just hope poc are left alone and unharmed.
@@FilmSureelist97 But not the white people?
@@brndnwilks Same for them, everyone should be safe
@@brndnwilks Classic whataboutism rebuttal. Just because he only said PoC doesn't mean he's excluding white people. It's just an acknowledgement that historically PoC have been the victims of lynch mobs in America, not white people.
@@johnfarlio1830 Actually he specifically excluded white people. POC is a catch all term that intentionally clumps everyone "non-white" together. It would be the same as saying "I hope all Asians, Black, Hispanic, Arab, Native American, Indian, and Pacific Islanders are left alone and unharmed." White people not included. And yes, plenty of white people were lynched, Irish and Mormans among them. That doesn't diminish the injustice of black citizens being lynched in our history, it's just historic fact. And whataboutism doesn't apply here because he's talking about current and future events where white people have been the target of rioters as much if not more so than any other racial group.
Imagine if there was such a trend as "fake news" back then!......
Very similar to what happened in Vienna in the October of 1848, when a band of rioters massacred soldiers departing for the war in Hungary, and brutally lynched the minister of war
These riots tend to happen during wars.
0:52 when you walk into the wrong hood
Looking at what was going on in the war at this time and the incredible amount of soldiers being mamed or killed I can totally see the resistance to the draft. It wasn't, join the army and see the world. More like a death sentence
You also have to consider that the draft is unconstitutional. It's only included as part of the right to vote there were actually some women who were against getting the right to vote because legally it would have meant they could be drafted
@@RabidNemo And they will try it again and call it "equality"
Yes but the native protestants thought the same thing about the catholics
When you run out of toilet paper
Rioting is always the language of the voice unheard.
The Union Army certainly heard them.
You’re not going to be heard if u kill random innocent Black people who have nothing to do wit this situation and are only trying to live their lives like the Irish back then. Can’t believe they switched on us.
In the real riots they had a gatling gun on the roof of the NY times. Unloading on people.
Now they just kill your mind.
Gee something never change in Murica.....

Actually the riots here are quite exaggerated, and the racial targeting of the event was far more brutual. In this film, we only see 1 person get lynched, when in reality it was over 20 people
Why does this scene look so familiar?
This is a livestream of Portland lol
It’s peaceful protesting circa 1863
History repeats itself..
What? Never heard of riot before?
Except that these rioters were actually rioting for a reason, unlike the braindead scum rioting now days
Cops all over the world were not officially allowed to carry guns up until this event in history.

1:38 People who hated Cameron Diaz's performance were probably satisfyed by this one scene.
She was kind of a nasty character
"Show us what you got you cowardly bastards!"
It’s like Minneapolis but roles reversed.
And no black people were being attacked.
@Jason Blaha’s Strength and Fatness same gets the Irish blood flowing
More like Brooklyn and Manhattan. One gal punched out a police car windshield. Try "violent mayhem"
These riots were way way worse
The United States Of America thing is, those riots lasted a day. These riots have been going on for 3-4 weeks.
Dang I always had seen this cut right when the troops pulled up and was like “dang that’s a bit much”, I guess not
1:41 о этот приятный звук равноправия
Then we learned about boss tweed in freshman year who was in this movie. We wanted to watch it but we didn’t have enough time since we had other units to cover in the semester
I have absolutely zero recollection of this from school.
USA education at its finest
It was because, following the Emancipation Proclamation, Union desertion forced them to enact the draft.
The film was released in 2002. So maybe that was the reason?
Its true, one of the many New York City Fire Departments that were more like social clubs and fronts for one of the Five Points gangs actually started the fire on July 11th, 1863, when the "Black Joke" Fire Dept. was annoyed and insulted one of their own was being drafted and they wouldn't or couldn't cough up the $300.00 necessary to buy out of being drafted. They lit the fuse of the New York Draft Riots by first attacking one of the local draft offices then marching down to the pro-Union, pro-Lincoln New York Tribune newspaper and torching it.
Romansilvercoin Putting out Fires was Just another Hustle to Them
I saw this in the theatre and when the troops shot the rioters the whole theatre cheered. Talk shit, get hit!
That's a weird crowd
What's amusing is that early in the film, when they're by the docks with Butcher dissing the influx of Irish immigrants, you see the army recruiters, giving the impression that some of the men right off the boat are being immediatedly recruited into the army.
I wonder then if some of the soldiers putting down the riots were off the boats not too long ago.
I wonder 😂?? look up into the history of tve riots. Yes, absolutely some of the fresh recruits were send in to stop the riots
Bad part is, they truely were drafted coming off the boats. Read up.
So basically 2020
Yeqh but at least the movie called them rioters instead of "fiery but entirely peaceful protestors" like democrats and the fake news did
Haven't looked down further, but I'm sure the comments are handling this intense and faithful portrayal of a brutal, complicated and specific historical event regarding politics, racial tensions and war with nothing but civility and grace
America is starting to look like this again
yeah, except this time it is for a just cause
@@bartkatastroof6150 the protest are but not the riots
@@bartkatastroof6150 black supremacy is a just cause?
@@jasonmiller659 if you believe that equal right is black supremacy I don't know what to tell you
Interspliced with the film are still images depicting the riot. Those are historical period pieces printed in the papers, such as Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, during and after the riots.
I don't think bragging about how openly racist the south is compared to the north is something you want to do.
The best way to keep the oppressed oppressed is to play them against each other.
This is happening right now.
Soon we will all be taken away. The day of the red guard is coming again.
0:20 I thought that clicking was that poor guy desperately trying to shoot his guns then 😁
Prelude to 2020
Damn, the 60's really were a crazy time of social change and upheaval. Hard to believe Vietnam was only a few decades ago.
Well, it was the 1860s, so you’re technically kind of right
When the Popeyes chicken sandwich is sold out
Or McDonald's when they ran out of the Rick and Morty's meme sauce
Student loan forgiveness controversy brought me here.
Back then, the poor could not cough up the $300 to avoid the draft.
In the present, student debtors working as baristas with their STEM degrees cannot cough up the $30000 to pay off their debts.
Ngl as an irishman I believe that the draft riots were not needed well I feel as if the riots werent needed I dont think we deserved to be drafted most of us were only there temporarily until the blight passedover so
Nothing much has changed in America it's still the same today.
with the anti black racism yea
That's hilarious.
No war but the class war
THEY NEED TO MAKE A GAME ABOUT THIS FILM.
Yeah, it could be kinda like an 1860's version of that one Warriors video game for the PS2.
Damn this is some scary footage of the uc berkely protests
The great David Hammings. Rip
Indeed! Guy was great
This is interesting to me considering my Irish ancestors from New York and Boston fought in the Civil War for the Union side before and during these riots. I have documentation for it. Not all Irish immigrants were like this.
Meh. Majority of them where. And people have the nerve to say irish where slaves
The Irish were indeed slaves at various points in history.
@@agricola not on U.S. soil
@@agricola indentured servant is vastly different from being a slave. I get what they been thru but their experience doesn’t compare to Black Americans. Not even Native or Latino Americans either.
@@agricola not in the new world
What are the paintings called that where on fire ?
imagine having an uzi
الغابة لما تحترق . بعد عقود تعود أجمل و أنظف و أوضح .
كذلك الدول و المجتمعات و الأمم ، لابد أن تحترق حتى تنظف .
لهذا لا تتعجب .
الشيء الوحيد المختلف أن للبشر شيء اسمه تاريخ يكتبه فقط المنتصر .
فيلم خارق و تحفة لا تموت
*Post-2016 election America*
not if we don't be babies because we can't accept something
James Cannon So you accept the end of Democracy?
James Cannon Our founding fathers didn't accept being taxed by the British Kings. We killed for it in the American Revolutionary War. A few colonies fought and overcame the biggest powerhouse at the time. And Now we are a more powerful nation then Britain in terms of military capability. That itself shows that with Injustice, Violence and Outrage is always expected.
The founding fathers made damn sure the U.S. would not be a Democracy.
Democratic Election of Trump = end of Democracy???????
logic
when TP becomes scarce
Anyone watching this the first week of 2021 for some similarities? 😂
Don’t forget the whole year of 2020... Of course the draft riot was incited by Democrats
History will just keep repeating itself, nothing changes, which only keeps making this movie better as time goes by
Seems like just another mostly peaceful protest to me.
Good Old Plymouth Rock
Fun for the boys in blue. Having just survived Gettysburg and now has to march to quell total mayhem.
Lincoln broke the golden rule of dealing with poor people: DON'T PISS THEM OFF!
Histories are no fairytale, before movies are based on history.
The fat rich guy at the beginning! 😂😂😂😂
This is what's going on in Minneapolis right now, except no black people and rich people are being attacked.
27th and 7th, that's where my university is now.
I got a degree from FIT a hundred years ago. Great school!
Looks like what happened at the capitol today
Nah more like last year’s riots
Why do I feel like this will happen on Jan 20th inauguration day 😂
well, it happen at the Capitol.
The same flute song is going to be played somewhere in the background
No. These rioters are Democrats
@@caseclosed9342
The Democrats of the Civil War era were the same white working-class led by reactionaries, who now follow the GOP.
@@TheLAGopher “same”? I don’t think those people from the Civil War are the same since no one is alive since then. But as in the 1860’s as in today the Democratic Party dominates urban politics. Machine politics, corruption and instigating riots are in the Democrats’ history
*If this happened today...
*MSM* : "Crowds of people conducting *Peaceful Non-violent* mass protest in the streets letting their voices be heard."
Are you stupid or just pretending to be? lol
