Their unannounced presence in the city drew the ire of southern sympathizers, and a riot ensued, leaving four soldiers and twelve civilians dead. As the regiment marched along Pratt Street to board railroad cars for Washington, one soldier recalled being &#8220;immediately assailed with stones, clubs and missiles&#8221; from the angry mob.
