'Police Charge Rioters At The Tribune Office', c1860s. In 1863, during the American Civil War, opponents of conscription rioted at the offices of the Daily Tribune in New York. A get-out clause in the draft legislation, known as the Rich Man's Exemption, caused anger among the poor of New York City, especially Irish immigrants. The Irish are caricatured here as having ape-like faces.
