It was an anti-republican democratic stronghold. Through lynching and fire they drove out almost the entire black population they even burned the black orphanage with the orphans still in it. Lincoln and other republican leaders were scared to visit. And the wall street crowd depended on southern Cotton contracts with the Europeans.
Again I recommend Gotham: the history of New York till 1898.... New York was pro slavery and pro democrats. Sad but true.
