Chaos in the Streets. The Philadelphia Nativist Riots. 1844.
The Philadelphia Nativist Riots, 1844. In May parts of Kensington were incinerated. Homes and churches destroyed. In July focus shifted to another Irish-Catholic enclave, Southwark.
Villanova has a nice online exhibit here.
Or if you want to see how the Southwark chaos turned out, well, you'll want to read the book. I'll keep you posted.
