The New York City draft riots occurred during his tenure. After his term as mayor expired, Opdyke attempted to forbid blacks from participating in President Abraham Lincoln's funeral processional. Early lifeOpdyke, the son of George & Mary E. (Stout) Opdyke, was born December 7, 1805 in Kingwood Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey.[1] During the 1820s he lived in Cleveland, Ohio and New Orleans, Louisiana. CareerOpdyke was a member of the Republican Party on its anti-slavery platform. He was a delegate to the Buffalo Free Soil Party convention in 1848, and served on its committee on resolutions, as well as standing as a candidate for the U.S. Congress on the Free Soil ticket in New Jersey. In 1859, he was a member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co., 14th D.), and was a delegate to the 1860 Republican National Convention, where he played a role in the nomination of Abraham Lincoln. With John Adams Dix and Richard Milford Blatchford, he formed the Union Defense Committee, empowered by President Abraham Lincoln to spend public money during the initial raising and equipping of the Union Army.[2][3] As mayor of New York, Opdyke recruited and equipped troops for the war and responded to draft riots. His company was the largest clothing manufacturing and merchandiser in the area. Opdyke died in New York in 1880 and was buried in the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Newark, New Jersey.
