Loco-Focos and the 1837 New York Flour Riot
on channel: The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered
The “Flour riot” is not as well known as more destructive New York City riots of the nineteenth century like the Astor Place riots or the draft riots, but some of the story- from concern over high prices of food to accusations of fake news, to inflammatory speeches, seem surprisingly familiar today.
