On This Day in History PTC
« on: December 17, 2019, 04:53:34 am »
Came across this doing today's PTC

»1862   General Ulysses Grant issues order #11, expelling Jews from Tennessee.

I had no idea. Isn't Grant seen as one of the good guys? Didn't he lead the north in the Civil War?

If you look long and hard at all leaders even George Washington, you will find some undesirable orders, laws, or just plain old personal skeletons in their closet. They're only human.

I agree, sfreeman8... all had "bad" qualities, but the good they did outweighs their faults

Well, I did some research and it is true. This is from Wikipedia and I heard it first from PTC Fusion Cash. Yes, you do learn some interesting things from the PTC

General Order No. 11 was an order issued by Major-General Ulysses S. Grant on December 17, 1862 during the American Civil War. It ordered the expulsion of all Jews in his military district, comprising areas of Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky. The order was issued as part of a Union campaign against a black market in Southern cotton, which Grant thought was being run "mostly by Jews and other unprincipled traders."[1] In the war zone, the United States licensed traders through the Army, which created a market for unlicensed ones. Union military commanders in the South were responsible for administering the trade licenses and trying to control the black market in Southern cotton, as well as for conducting the war. Grant issued the order in an effort to reduce corruption.

Jewish community leaders protested, and there was an outcry by members of Congress and the press; President Abraham Lincoln revoked the General Order on January 4, 1863. Grant infamously claimed during his 1868 Presidential campaign that he had issued the order without prejudice against Jews as a way to address a problem that "certain Jews had caused"

     I like to linger or hang out on the "On This Day in History" page on the PTC myself.  Sometimes I will click it 4 or 5 times, to get different info, even though I am only getting credit for clicking it once.  At any rate I tend to go well past the timer time by the time I finish the PTC.   :turkey:
