Episode Overview
New York City, already recognized as the leading port in America, transformed into the country's largest industrial hub as an influx of German and Irish immigrants reshaped it into one of the most intricate urban landscapes globally, introducing various social challenges. In Episode Two, we explore how the city's artists, visionaries, and leaders, including poet Walt Whitman and Central Park's designers, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, confronted the escalating tensions that ultimately led to the devastating Civil War Draft Riots of 1863.
