About this episode

This episode explores the deadly Bible Riots in Philadelphia during 1844 and their impact on the city's history.

The Philadelphia Bible Riots were a series of deadly conflicts that took place between May and July, 1844. Anti-Catholic mobs, angered by the growing population of Irish immigrants, attacked churches in Kensington and Southwark. The Nativist violence did not solve their problems and instead gave rise to the Gangs of Philadelphia. Check out SouthFellini.com to grab our gear; apparel for the Philadelphia lifestyle.
