The Detroit race riot of 1863 occurred on March 6, 1863, in the city of Detroit, Michigan, during the American Civil War. At the time, the Detroit Free Press reported these events as "the bloodiest day that ever dawned upon Detroit." It began due to unrest among the working class related to racism and the military draft, which was heightened after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln. Based in a free state, some recent immigrants and other workers resented being drafted for a war that they thought was waged for the benefit of slaves in the Southern United States, and they feared competition from Black people.

  • El disturbio racial de Detroit de 1863 ocurrió el 6 de marzo de 1863, en la ciudad de Detroit, Míchigan, durante la Guerra de Secesión. En ese momento, el diario Detroit Free Press informó de estos eventos como "el día más sangriento que jamás haya amanecido en Detroit".​ Comenzó debido a los disturbios entre la clase trabajadora relacionados con el racismo y el servicio militar,​ que se intensificó después de que el presidente Abraham Lincoln emitiera la Proclamación de Emancipación. Con base en un estado libre, algunos inmigrantes recientes y otros trabajadores resintieron ser reclutados para una guerra que pensaban que se libraba en beneficio de los esclavos en el Sur de Estados Unidos, y temían la competencia de los negros.

  • The Detroit race riot of 1863 occurred on March 6, 1863, in the city of Detroit, Michigan, during the American Civil War. At the time, the Detroit Free Press reported these events as "the bloodiest day that ever dawned upon Detroit." It began due to unrest among the working class related to racism and the military draft, which was heightened after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln. Based in a free state, some recent immigrants and other workers resented being drafted for a war that they thought was waged for the benefit of slaves in the Southern United States, and they feared competition from Black people. At least two civilians were killed, one white and one Black, and numerous others, mostly African Americans, were badly beaten and injured. In total, 35 buildings were destroyed by fire, with many others damaged, and Black residents lost property and cash to the looting and stealing of the mob. Losses were estimated at minimum US$15,000 to as much as US$20,000 (equivalent to US$440,162 in 2021). More than 200 people, mostly Black, were left homeless. Although the Michigan Legislature recommended compensation, the Detroit City Council refused to approve it. As a result of the riot, the city of Detroit established a full-time police force, which was dominated by whites into the late 20th century. (en)

Con base en un estado libre, algunos inmigrantes recientes y otros trabajadores resintieron ser reclutados para una guerra que pensaban que se libraba en beneficio de los esclavos en el Sur de Estados Unidos, y temían la competencia de los negros. Al menos dos civiles murieron, uno blanco y otro negro, y muchos otros, en su mayoría afroamericanos, fueron brutalmente golpeados y heridos. En total, 35 edificios fueron destruidos por el fuego y muchos otros dañados, y los residentes negros perdieron propiedades y dinero en efectivo debido al saqueo y robo de la mafia. Más de 200 personas, en su mayoría negras, se quedaron sin hogar.​ Aunque la Legislatura de Míchigan recomendó una compensación, el Ayuntamiento de Detroit se negó a aprobarla. Como resultado de los disturbios, la ciudad de Detroit estableció una fuerza policial de tiempo completo, que estuvo dominada por blancos hasta finales del siglo XX. (es)
