Why did angry mobs riot in New York City in July of 1863?
The New York City Draft Riots took place from July 13 to July 16 of 1863. The city's poor were very angry about being drafted to fight in the Civil War. The U.S. Civil War was an incredibly bloody one, which made being drafted seem like a death sentence. And the draft favored the rich, as anybody who was drafted could avoid going to war by paying $300 and finding a substitute to fight for him. Only the rich could afford to do that. The immigrant population was especially angry about the draft, as they were often drafted to fight only a few weeks or months after they became citizens. They felt it was unfair that they were being asked to fight and die for a country that they had only just recently moved to. At the time, the Irish were New York City's largest immigrant population, so their voices were the loudest. But the rioters consisted of immigrants of many different nationalities, as well as the city's native-born working class. Rioters blamed blacks for causing the Civil War, and they also feared that if the slaves were freed, they would come up north and take all of the working-class jobs. The Draft Riots began on the morning of the first day of Draft Week (Monday, July 13, 1863). The riot started with the burning of the Draft offices, and lasted for three terrifying days. The rioters looted, smashed, and burned countless shops, offices, and homes of the rich. They attacked anyone and everyone who was either black, a policeman, or a well-dressed, rich-looking person. Countless blacks were brutally lynched in the streets. An orphanage for black children was even burned to the ground.

How did the governor of New York handle the draft riots of 1863?
Shortly after the Union's victory at the Battle of Gettysburg, 20,000 troops there were sent to New York City by President Lincoln to end the three days of draft riots. The riots there were a result of the US governments draft laws that were passed in March of 1863. That Summer, recruiters for the draft came to New York City to conduct a draft. This created a riot among Irish immigrants and others that became at that time the largest US civilian insurrection.
