1862 Buffalo riot

Civil disturbance at immigrant workers strike at Buffalo, New York

The Buffalo Riot of 1862 was a civil disturbance on the afternoon of August 12, 1862, by Irish and German stevedores against local dock bosses, and more broadly, the federal government. The rioters, frustrated by low wages and the federal government's call for a militia draft, demanded increased pay and prevented others from working at the old rates.
