520			_a"The Great Riots of New York, 1712 to 1873" by Joel Tyler Headley is a historical account likely written in the mid-19th century. The book addresses the tumultuous history of various riots in New York City, emphasizing how these events reflect the city’s character and the social dynamics of its diverse populace. It explores significant uprisings, such as the notorious Draft Riots of 1863, situating them within the broader context of American history and their impact on the nation’s fate during the Civil War era. The beginning of this account introduces the author's motivation to document the riots, particularly in response to calls from those who played vital roles in quelling the Draft Riots. Headley asserts that previous histories have overlooked these events, which substantially affected the outcome of the Civil War and the nation's financial stability. He highlights the dangers of mob violence and stresses the necessity of effective measures to prevent future riots, advocating for an improved police response. This opening establishes a serious tone, as it emphasizes the significance of understanding these riots—not as mere disturbances, but as events that mirror the tumultuous societal changes and conflicts of the era.
