Biography

New York draft riots

Near the end of his term as Mayor, Opdyke recruited and equipped troops and responded to the developing riots regarding the conscription.[1] Opdyke and Governor Horatio Seymour wished for the riots to cease, his stance on the matter being discussed at the same time by Niblo's Garden theatergoers to the Italian opera singer Adelina Patti.[2]
