There were approximately 20,000 pigs running free on the streets in Antebellum New York City. This article examines the reason for the presence of so many pigs, what significance they had for urban environment, and the opinions that the residents had about the pigs. This would shed new lights on the role of class, race, ethnicity, and gender relations in urban society and politics during times of development and change.
