American Jewry and The Civil War ...our story
At the time of the Civil War (1861-1865) there were 150,000 Jews living in America. When the war broke out in April 1861, men of all denominations felt compelled to serve for their country. Estimates of over 8,000 Jews fought to preserve their way of life and fought for the confederacy.
It was no different for Jewish families as many found themselves divided fighting for their perspective cause. Many issues surrounding Jewish life and liberty became front page stories in Northern and Southern papers.
