Post subject: Grant expels Jews from war zone Dec. 17, 1862
Grant’s order required all Jews to leave the region within 24 hours or face imprisonment. Union officers quickly began to force entire Jewish families out of their homes with only what they could carry.
Grant came under the influence of Henry Halleck, the Union armies’ general-in-chief, who directly linked “traitors” with “Jew peddlers.” At one point, Grant castigated “the Israelites” as “an intolerable nuisance.”
