NYC's Forgotten Race Riots: Fighting FOR Slavery

The shocking story of New York City's 1834 anti-abolition riots—when white working-class mobs terrorized abolitionists and Black communities to preserve slavery. As Irish immigrants flooded NYC at 30,000 per year, tensions exploded when wealthy abolitionists Arthur and Lewis Tappan invited Black minister Samuel Cornish to church. Reverend Samuel Cox's defense sparked riots: 3,000-strong mobs attacked his church and home, demolished St. Philip's African Episcopal Church, destroyed the African Society for Mutual Relief Hall, and terrorized Five Points' Black residents. Rioters used church pews to build barricades against the National Guard. This wasn't Southern slave states—this was Northern "free" New York City, where white mobs rioted for days to prevent abolition. The violence revealed how deeply racism and economic fear divided the city before the Civil War.
