A specialist in American Jewish history, Korn first published the book in 1951 with the Jewish Publication Society of America; later editions include an introduction by Allan Nevins.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1adg3ll r-1g7jtus r-1x3r274\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1adg3ll r-1g7jtus r-1x3r274\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003eThe book examines the Jewish community in the United States during the Civil War as a community, rather than as a roll of individual soldiers. It treats American Jewry on the eve of the conflict, the division of rabbis and congregations over slavery and secession, Jewish life on the Union and Confederate home fronts, the fight to secure Jewish military chaplains, and Abraham Lincoln’s dealings with Jewish citizens and petitioners. A central section reconstructs General Ulysses S. Grant’s General Order No. 11 of 1862, which expelled Jews as a class from his military department, and the protests that led to its revocation. Korn also surveys wartime charges against Jewish slave traders and the wider climate of prejudice in both sections.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1adg3ll r-1x3r274 r-p1pxzi\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1adg3ll r-1x3r274 r-p1pxzi\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003eSovereign Archive Publishing is proud to offer this well sourced account of Jewish life in the divided republic. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274 r-36ujnk\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003eAmerican Jewry and the Civil War\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003e remains one of the few readings of American Jewish history during the period. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1adg3ll r-1x3r274 r-p1pxzi\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 412\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.98 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 12, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67605907865782,"sku":"9780827607385","price":44.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/4516\/0886\/files\/5ED035D4-6039-412D-9016-D55956694C54.jpg?v=1791488641","url":"https:\/\/sovereignarchivepublishing.com\/products\/american-jewry-and-the-civil-war-paperback","provider":"Sovereign Archive Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
