English term or phrase: Draft Riots

The Draft Riots of 1863, New York City. The government was drafting men to fight the South. So the riots broke out across New York. Gangs and mobs in the thousands. It was anarchy.

Odvodové nepokoje

Explanation:
"...Napětí bylo posíleno též nepřátelstvím obyvatel New Yorku vůči policii, zákonům a úřadům, jež vyvrcholilo v červenci 1863 v podobě Odvodových nepokojů..."

I když já bych dal osobně přednost formulaci "pouliční nepokoje/bouře při odvodech v roce 1863"...

draft riots vzbouření proti povolání do zbraně

Explanation:
Vzhledem k popisu událostí (citace z referencí) se mi zdá termín "nepokoje", jež se nabízí jako překlad "riots" příliš jemný:

"The rioters were overwhelmingly working-class men, mostly Irish or of Irish descent, who feared free black people competing for work and resented that wealthier men, who could afford to pay a $300 (equivalent to $9,157 in 2017[5]) commutation fee to hire a substitute, were spared from the draft.[6][7]
Initially intended to express anger at the draft, the protests turned into a race riot, with white rioters, predominantly Irish immigrants,[4] attacking black people throughout the city. The official death toll was listed at either 119 or 120 individuals. Conditions in the city were such that Major General John E. Wool, commander of the Department of the East, said on July 16 that "Martial law ought to be proclaimed, but I have not a sufficient force to enforce it."[8]"
