   Brooklyn remained relatively calm during the riots. The Brooklyn Eagle provided detailed descriptions of the violence, prompting readers to either seek refuge in cellars or, depending on their inclinations, join the rioters.

   Given that there were no bridges connecting Brooklyn to Manhattan at the time, those who wanted to participate in the riots had to be particularly determined, as they had to take a ferry to reach Manhattan.
