Answer:

A. Deep-seated racism also existed i the North is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The new York draft riots were violent disturbances in New York City that lasted form July 13, 1863 till 16th July 1863. The riots occurred during the president ship of President Lincoln. The rioters wanted to show anger for the draft but later it became violent and racial pogrom in which blacks were murdered on the streets. The mob destroyed buildings, homes, and orphanages. Historians consider it to be a culmination of white working-class discontent due to the new laws which were passed to draft the men for fighting in the Civil War. The riots were suppressed by the military.
