The Detroit race riot of 1863 occurred during the American Civil War on March 6, 1863, in the city of Detroit, Michigan. At the time, it was reported as "the bloodiest day that ever dawned upon Detroit." It began due to unrest related to racism and the military draft.〔Detroit Free Press, March 7, 1863〕 While not as famous or destructive as riots later in Detroit’s history, the riot of 1863 was certainly a momentous occasion for the city of Detroit. The casualties of the day included at least two innocent people dead, a multitude of others, mostly African-American, mercilessly beaten. 35 buildings were burned to the ground, and a number of other buildings were damaged by fire.〔 The riot resulted in the creation of a full-time police force for Detroit. ==See also== *Great Lakes Patrol *Detroit race riot of 1943 *1967 Detroit riot 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Detroit race riot of 1863」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
