In 1863, American Civil War: The New York City draft riots begin three days of rioting which will later be regarded as the worst in United States history. In 1960, Curtis Rouse, American football player (died 2013) was born. In 1977, New York City: Amidst a period of financial and social turmoil experiences an electrical blackout lasting nearly 24 hours that leads to widespread fires and looting. In 1983, Gabrielle Roy, Canadian engineer and author (born 1909) passed away.
