Energyplay, The Honorable Judah P. Benjamin, Secretary of State of the Confederacy was Jewish and at the time of the detestable northern aggression there were maybe 150,000 Jews in the US, many of them in the south. But I think you will find that after 1881 there were over 2 million Jewish immigrants in fairly short order before 1913 when restrictions were imposed. Most of these immigrants were Russians. Go look in any southern small town public library and dig out a copy of a local county history, say published from 1910 to 1940. In there you will see all the names of the local illuminati, usually the same folks listed as the leaders of the local masonic lodges, and you will rarely ever see any Jewish folks listed. The reason is not discrimination of any sort, there just weren't many Jews there. There are now, but decades ago the ancestors of these men were still living in some northern city. Bigger towns, say New Orleans or even Atlanta, had a fair number of prosperous Jews even back then. Slagle
