On today’s episode the History Guy tells the stories of two New York City riots, both of which began over seemingly trivial issues. First he tells the story of the Shakespeare riot, when a disagreement over who played the better Macbeth turned deadly. Then he tells the story of the straw hat riots, when fashion and a particularly warm day ended with thousands of hats smashed on the streets of New York City.

This is original content based on research by The History Guy. Images in the Public Domain are carefully selected and provide illustration. As very few images of the actual event are available in the Public Domain, images of similar objects and events are used for illustration.

All events are portrayed in historical context and for educational purposes. No images or content are primarily intended to shock and disgust. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Non censuram.
