Description

Without his New York supporters, it's highly unlikely Abraham Lincoln would have made it to the White House.

Yet the majority of New Yorkers never voted for him and were openly hostile to him and his politics.

New Yorkers reacted to Lincoln's wartime policies with the deadliest rioting in American history.

Here, a gallery of fascinating New Yorkers comes to life, the likes of Horace Greeley, Walt Whitman, Julia Ward Howe, Boss Tweed, Thomas Nast, Matthew Brady and Herman Melville.

CITY OF SEDITION follows the fortunes of these figures and chronicles how many New Yorkers seized the opportunities the conflict presented to amass capital, create new industries and expand their markets, laying the foundation for the city's - and the nation's - growth.
