Scorsese glossed over the race riot sparked by Lincoln's conscription draft. Blacks were blame for both draft and war while Lincoln was burning parts of the Constitution.

Between cannon fire from the British to American warships stopping the riots to jet fuel engine, it's small wonder the streets on the isle of Manhattan don't run red with blood.

that's like the last 40 percent of the movie :mindblown:
No.

They said it was a riot and blacks were killed, they did not specify that it was a race riot.

I Said he glossed over it, I never said he didn't mention it

Scorsese gives little mentioned to the blacks being blamed, its mostly "we left Ireland to go fight in somebody's else's war"

because it wasn't. it was a draft riot, and a race riot. but the main cause was clearly the draft

it literally started with them attacking the draft office :mindblown:
