Yeah, yeah, it's a forum, not a doctoral dissertation. Forgive me for glossing over a 100 year process with a glib "tensions were high." Anyway, your article supports my point in part:
"Although it would be decades before any real effective reform would pass into law, the reforms initiated in response to the Draft Riots were important and significant first steps. Perhaps, what is most significant of the Draft Riots is that it illustrates a method that is so uniquely New York: to take disaster and turn it into opportunity. In terms of the Draft Riots, New Yorkers turned a riot into a catalyst for change."
So, what's happening in Germany? What is the German leadership doing to support integration? What are the immigrant communities doing to actively integrate themselves?
