At least 8,000 Jewish soldiers fought for the Union and Confederacy
during the Civil War. A few served together in Jewish companies
while most fought alongside Christian comrades. Yet even as they
stood "shoulder-to-shoulder" on the front lines, they encountered
unique challenges. In Jews and the Civil War, Jonathan D. Sarna and
Adam Mendelsohn assemble for the first time the foremost
scholarship on Jews and the Civil War, little known even to
specialists in the field. These accessible and far-ranging essays
from top scholars are grouped into seven thematic sections-Jews and
Slavery, Jews and Abolition, Rabbis and the March to War, Jewish
Soldiers during the Civil War, The Home Front, Jews as a Class, and
Aftermath-each with an introduction by the editors. Together they
reappraise the impact of the war on Jews in the North and the
South, offering a rich and fascinating portrait of the experience
of Jewish soldiers and civilians from the home front to the battle
front.
