Immigrants were sometimes denied jobs, housing, and other services during and after the Civil War.

Immigrants were extremely important to the country all through the Civil War. When the Union began the draft in 1863, riots erupted. Many cities then encouraged immigrants to come to them so that the young men could fill the draft quotas.

Signs like 'No Irish Need Apply' next to job postings and 'No Irish' on hotels and rooming houses showed the intensity of the discrimination the immigrants faced.
