American convention for promoting the abolition of slavery and improving the condition of the African race at Philadelphia, in October, 1819, to the people of the United States
Pennsylvania Magazine, v. 101, no. 2 (April 1977).
" HISTORIANS have long known that Civil War conscription was greeted with less than unreserved enthusiasm in New York, where draft riots erupted in 1863, in the Middle West, where Copperheadism flourished, and in the border states, where slaveowners and others viewed the Union government with uneasy eyes. But there was at least one more area in which the draft was exceedingly unpopular. This was Pennsylvania. An ex-amination of contemporary newspapers and federal provost marshal records stored in the National Archives strongly suggests that opposition to conscription in the Keystone State was as wide spread as in any other state of the North."
