JEWS AND THE CIVIL WAR: THE UNION

 This class dives into the tumultuous Civil War period when most Jews were new immigrants who had just begun to settle into their new country. Having various reasons for joining the war, Jewish soldiers fought on both sides of the conflict. We explore the different experiences that Jewish soldiers encountered on the battlefield as well as highlight their heroic acts. We will also learn about the heightened anti-semitism that arose during this time when the Jewish population became the scapegoats for many of the ills of war.
