Low-paid workers responded to the union draft of 1863 by
moving to the border states.
joining the confederate army.
fleeing north to canada.
staging a riot in new york city.

The correct answer is D. Staging a riot in New York City.

Explanation:

The Union draft of 1863 known as the Enrollment Act established men between 25 and 40 years old had to join the Union army; this included not only regular citizens but also immigrants. The purpose of this was the reinforce the Union army to defeat the Confederation during the American Civil War.

This act was not approved by many workers and it led to riots in different states, especially in New York City where workers led multiple riots from July 13th to July 16th of 1863 to show they did not agree with the conditions of the new act. Indeed, many low-paid workers opposed the act because, in this, it was established those who could pay $300 could avoid the act, which was unfair because low-paid workers could not afford this. Also, they were afraid black people could replace them by taking their jobs if they had to go to the war.
