In another chapter, Grimsted credibly argues that northern rioting had the effect of persuading many northerners that slavery should be their concern too.
And while Grimsted's writing is not always clear, he must be correct in arguing that rioting played a major role in driving the nation to civil war.

The greatest number of race riots occurred during and just after World War I. During this period the North was concerned with the tremendous migration of Blacks from the South, and the displacement of some whites by Blacks in jobs and residences, which escalated social tensions between the races.
By the time the riot ended, thirteen days later, thousands of both races had been involved in a series of frays, fifteen whites and twenty-three Negroes were killed, and 178 whites and 342 Blacks were injured.
The riot in Detroit, Michigan in 1943 flared from the increased racial friction over the sharp rise in the Negro population, which led to competition with whites on the job and housing markets.
