General Order No. 11

General Order No. 11 was the title of 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." In the war zone, the United States licensed traders through the United States 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.

Following protests from Jewish community leaders and an outcry by members of Congress and the press, President Abraham Lincoln revoked the General Order on January 4, 1863. During his campaign for the presidency in 1868, Grant infamously claimed that he had issued the order without prejudice against Jews, but as a way to address a problem that “certain Jews had caused.”

Baton Rouge however probably has 6 Jews in the entire city and they are waiting for Israel to fly them out of that oppressive shithole.

Baton Rouge has a sizable Jewish population. Webb Park at one time was a Jewish country club (I assume they've taken down the Star of David that used to be over the door to the club house).

He was born in Chicago. The pipeline I was referring to was from the east coast.

Nobody today from Chicago is attending Wisconsin because of their history with Jewish admittance.

They come because it is a far better college experience than Illinois or Iowa. Many also choose Kansas.

Grant appointed more Jews during his presidency to public office than any other previous prez.

Tulane also has a very high number of tube top wearing sloots!
