The other boroughs voted them out

because of the usage of the term "Orangemen". They tried to remedy it by eliminating the term but it was too late.

Didn't the Union Army kill them all during the draft riots of 1863?

No, they were bombed by the Germans at Pearl Harbor. That's why they had to move to New York City.

I'm pretty sure the people of Syracuse were one of the largest unified groups of draft dodgers.
Syracuse actually tried to join Canada.
When Canada wouldn't let them in, the remaining boroughs refused to readmit people with such poor morals.
Syracuse was left out in the cold so to speak.
Further, that ingrained feeling of being "left out in the cold" is why they refused for many years to put AC in their dome.
Even further, the jingling of keys represents the old tradition of driving in and cranking up cars inside the dome to make it even hotter.

I just asked a friend from Buffalo who said, "No one liked Syracuse! No one! We couldn't wait to dump them!"

No……it’s a suburb of Cleveland…..but it’s also a protectorate of Quebec. So it’s high crime, but the police are simultaneously arrogant and cowardly.

Its at the headwater's of the Erie Canal. "We have hauled some barges in our day, filled with lumber coal and hay, and we know every inch of the way from A-l-a-b-a-n-y to Buffalo, oooooohhhh low bridge everybody down, low bridge cause we are coming into town............" One of my favorite tunes from fourth grade.
