Pro-slavery riots in New York City

Beginning on July 7, 1834, New York City was torn by a huge anti-abolitionist riot that lasted for nearly a week until it was put down by military force. "At times the rioters controlled whole sections of the city while they attacked the homes, businesses, and churches of abolitionist leaders and ransacked black neighborhoods."
