More about the book

In 1855, Chicago's mayor Levi Boone enacted a law banning Sunday alcohol sales, provoking the German community. This led to the Chicago Lager Riot, where an armed mob clashed with authorities, resulting in one death and many injuries. The authors explore the riot's impact on policing and political alliances, including Lincoln's rise.
