   Brooklyn served as a refuge for fleeing Black Americans, with many settling in Williamsburg and being sheltered and protected by the German immigrant community.

   Others sought safety in Weeksville.. In response to reports of a mob from Jamaica, Queens planning to attack Brooklyn, white citizens organized to maintain order and additional deputy sheriffs were sworn in. While the mob caused significant damage in Queens, they never arrived in Brooklyn.
