Gerry's Opening Monologue -
"This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...
| ...General Orders #11, Headquarters, 13th Army Core, Department of the Tennessee, Holly Springs, December 17, 1862. 'The Jews, as a class violating every regulation of trade established by the Treasury Department and also department orders, are hereby expelled from the department. Within 24 hours from the receipt of this order.' That order's author was Ulysses S Grant, and he would come to repent for its anti-Semitism the rest of his life. We'll learn more about the orders, causes and consequences from Professor Jonathan D. Sarna, author of 'When General Grant Expelled the Jews,' tonight, on Civil War Talk Radio." |
