Solution

The correct option is D Protesting the draft and starting antiwar riots with speeches and articles

All the Northerners who disagreed with the war protested the war. Northerners who opposed the Civil War showed their opposition by protesting the draft and starting antiwar riots with speeches and articles. On July 19th, 1863, a crowd formed outside a New York draft office. Inside, army officials were choosing the names of men who would be taken into the army. Each name was written on a separate piece of paper. The papers were mixed together in a big box. The officials then began to remove the papers one at a time. They made a list of the names. These were the men of New York who must go off to fight. On that day, however, the list was never completed. The crowd outside the draft office became louder. There were shouts of protest against the draft and against the Civil War.
