Response Needed for American History Discussion Question

1 paragraph or less only

“Although rich families could buy their way out of the draft, a lot  of the protestors turned their anger and violence on black people.  I  find that ironic because the blacks were exempt from the draft because  they were not considered American citizens at the time.  (1) Nearly a  dozen black men were killed by hanging after being beaten, (2) the  protestors with savage ferocity, uprooting trees, destroying clothing, toys and supplies before setting fire to a building that  was the home of 230 black orphan children, and (3) black fled the city  and their population plummeted by more than 20 percent.”
