Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Details Jewish participation on the Civil War battlefield and throughout the Southern home front In The Jewish Confederates, Robert N. Rosen introduces readers to the community of Southern Jews of the 1860s, revealing the remarkable breadth of Southern Jewry's participation in the war and their commitment to the Confederacy. Intrigued by the apparent irony of their story, Rosen weaves a complex chronicle that outlines how Southern Jews—many of them recently arrived immigrants from Bavaria, Prussia, Hungary, and Russia who had fled European revolutions and anti-Semitic governments—attempted to navigate the fraught landscape of the American Civil War. This chronicle relates the experiences of officers, enlisted men, businessmen, politicians, nurses, rabbis, and doctors. Rosen recounts the careers of important Jewish Confederates; namely, Judah P. Benjamin, a member of Jefferson Davis's cabinet; Col. Abraham C. Myers, quartermaster general of the Confederacy; Maj. Adolph Proskauer of the 125th Alabama; Maj. Alexander Hart of the Louisiana 5th; and Phoebe Levy Pember, the matron of Richmond's Chimborazo Hospital. He narrates the adventures and careers of Jewish officers and profiles the many Jewish soldiers who fought in infantry, cavalry, and artillery units in every major campaign.

Book excerpt: A unique collection revealing the experience of Jewish soldiers and civilians during the Civil War At least 8,000 Jewish soldiers fought for the Union and Confederacy during the Civil War. A few served together in Jewish companies while most fought alongside Christian comrades. Yet even as they stood “shoulder-to-shoulder” on the front lines, they encountered unique challenges. In Jews and the Civil War, Jonathan D. Sarna and Adam Mendelsohn assemble for the first time the foremost scholarship on Jews and the Civil War, little known even to specialists in the field. These accessible and far-ranging essays from top scholars are grouped into seven thematic sections—Jews and Slavery, Jews and Abolition, Rabbis and the March to War, Jewish Soldiers during the Civil War, The Home Front, Jews as a Class, and Aftermath—each with an introduction by the editors. Together they reappraise the impact of the war on Jews in the North and the South, offering a rich and fascinating portrait of the experience of Jewish soldiers and civilians from the home front to the battle front.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: And Moses passed to the ages and the mantle of leadership fell to Joshua. Joshua, the Jewish general, led the Israelites to victory after victory. Eventually, they too were scattered to the four corners of the earth. It wasnt until the American Civil War that the Jews left the north in droves to fight for the Confederacy. Not because they believed in slavery, but the anti-Semitism they had experienced in the north would not allow them to live as equal citizens. In the South, after a two-thousand year exile the Jews once again fought as a people for freedom and equality. Read about the four Jews in Jefferson Davis cabinet. Read about the Jewish military leaders and soldiers. Read about those, the remnant of the ones murdered, burned at the stake, forced to convert, and how they came into their own in the antebellum South.

Book excerpt: Confederate Charleston recounts the dramatic Civil War experience of the city that witnessed some of the conflict's most noteworthy events. Presenting a multifaceted view of the diverse military and civilian population that flowed through Charleston before, during, and after the Civil War, Robert N. Rosen includes biographical sketches of P. G. T. Beauregard, Robert Barnwell Rhett, Angelina Grimk�, and Robert Smalls. Additionally Rosen enumerates the wartime contributions of women, Jews, African Americans, and others, as well as the experiences of Clara Barton, Frederick Douglass, and various other notable individuals. Known as the birthplace of the Confederacy, Charleston hosted the tumultuous Democratic Party National Convention of April 1860 as well as the secession convention in December of that year. In addition to serving as a testing ground for unprecedented warfare tactics, the port saw the commencement of hostilities, the Battle for Battery Wagner and Morris Island, and the longest siege of the war. Rosen devotes chapters to these episodes, approaching them from both Northern and Southern perspectives and incorporating commentaries gleaned from diaries, letters, and newspapers. Adding to its significance, Confederate Charleston features more than 150 drawings, photographs, and paintings, many of which have never been published before.

Book excerpt: A rare Sephardic Jew in the Old South and a favorite of Jefferson Davis, Judah P. Benjamin has been described as “the brains of the Confederacy.” He held three successive Confederate cabinet posts—attorney general, secretary of war, and secretary of state—but some have questioned Benjamin’s loyalty to Davis and the extent of his influence. More than 140 years after Benjamin first appeared on the Confederate scene, historians still debate his place in the history of the Lost Cause. Robert Douthat Meade’s absorbing account of the life of this enigmatic Civil War figure, who built a second brilliant career in England after the war, remains the definitive study of Benjamin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Civil War was a defining moment in US history, and its underlying issue of slavery divided the nation. In this insightful historical investigation, author Samuel Jay Korson who writes from the perspective of his own Jewish faith, sheds light on the experiences of Jewish individuals living in the Confederacy during this tumultuous time. Southern Jews found themselves in a complex position, facing a conundrum that forced them to navigate a double-edged sword. Living in a majority Christian society where many participated in slavery and anti-Semitism ebbed and flowed, many Southern Jews opposed slavery on moral grounds, while others participated in various aspects of a slave society to assimilate into their communities. Despite practicing their faith and observing important Jewish holidays like Passover, Hanukkah, and Shabbat, Southern Jews were caught in the middle of a divisive issue that even Jewish clergy struggled to reconcile. Using Jewish law (halacha), rabbis in both the North and South vehemently argued both sides of the slave issue. Through this compelling exploration, readers gain a deeper understanding of how the Civil War affected not only the United States, but also the Jewish community as a whole. By examining the experiences of Southern Jews during this pivotal moment in history, Samuel Jay Korson reveals a unique perspective on a complex and multifaceted topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many Americans today believe that the Confederate armies were made up of only White, Protestant and Anglo-Saxon Johnny Reb's! Really? Were they? What about the nearly 40,000 Confederate Irish Catholic soldiers? How about Cherokee Brigadier General Stand Watie and his thousands of Confederate Indian soldiers? Most were recruited from the so-called Five Civilized Tribes! What about the First Louisiana Native Guards, a New Orleans regiment formed in 1861, of 1,400 men, made up entirely of men of color, plus their white officers? Did you know that Dr. Lewis Steiner of the United States Sanitary Commission observed and reported that the Confederate army that marched through and occupied Frederick, Maryland, during the 1862 Sharpsburg/Antietam campaign had ..". 3,000 negroes carrying arms, rifles, muskets, sabers, bowie knives, dirks, etc. and they were clearly an integral part of Jackson's Confederate Army." Dr. Thomas C. Mandes wrote in a 2002, Washington Post article that the largest overall minority during the Civil War, i.e., to serve the Confederacy, were Jewish men and women. This includes soldiers, officials, doctors, and nurses. Many people know some things about Judah Benjamin. He held three separate Cabinet positions in Jefferson Davis' regime. Have you heard of Sargent Moses Ezekiel of New Market fame, or of Confederate Captain Simon Baruch (army physician and father of Bernard Baruch, the most successful financier of his day)? How about 1st Lieutenant Israel Greene of Harpers Ferry fame? Greene became the Inspector and Adjutant of the Confederate Marine Corps.
