cmjcc88I‌ done research on m ancestry. Back in the 1700's in NC there were slave owners in my line but as they left NC for TN and SE VA I only found one with a slave in one census. By the 18320's I did not find any. I check wills where I could and only one in NC willed slaves to sons and wife. ... View More

View MoreGENERAL GRANT Before he assumed his leadership positions with the Union army, he managed his father-in-law's slave plantation, later applying the style of a slave overseer to his military tactics. These tactics emphasized the persecution of Southern civilians, against whom Grant's troops committed numerous atrocities. Waugh concedes that Grant banned Jews from trading in cotton, noting that he deeply regretted the action. Not true ! What he actually did was to commit the worst act of official anti-Semitism in America's history, along with other anti-Jewish acts for which he never expressed regret or contrition. In order to stop speculation in cotton, Grant issued orders on 9 and 10 November 1862 banning southward travel in general, stating that “the Israelites especially should be kept out… no Jews are to be permitted to travel on the railroad southward from any point. They may go north and be encouraged in it; but they are such an intolerable nuisance, that the department must be purged of them”. The following month, in his notorious General Order # 11, of 17 December, 1862, he expelled all Jews “as a class” from his conquered territories in Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Jewish families in the area were not only expelled, but jailed, stripped of their possessions, and generally terrified. On 4 January, 1863, Lincoln belatedly rescinded Grant’s order, but by then, much damage had been done to the Jewish community in those states. And throughout the War, Union troops under Grant and their other top generals – William Tecumseh Sherman, and Philip Sheridan – burned, looted, raped, and destroyed Southern towns and cities, homes, farms, courthouses, libraries, and most anything else they came across that would help local residents survive and support themselves. But these were not the worst crimes of the Union Army. These same generals were responsible for carrying out various massacres of Native Americans during what we politely call "The Indian Wars."
