   The overwhelmed and outnumbered NYC police force during the riots led to the calling of militias, but most men were already sent to Pennsylvania. It took three days for the National Guard, sent by the Secretary of War, to enter the city and restore order.

   With over 6,000 troops patrolling, they opened fire on the mobs, resulting in deaths of those who resisted.
