@arielviera: One of the largest amount of casualties during the American Civil War didn’t happen on the battlefield, it happened in NYC during the Draft Riots. One of the targets was the African-American community including the orphanage that used to stand here. @Gen Z Historian tells us the full story. #nyctiktok #nychistory
