In what many consider to be the worst case of state sponsored antisemitism in American history, Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant issued his General Order 11 on Dec. 17, 1862. The order expelled Jews from Department of Tennessee, a military district that encompassed parts of not only Tennessee, but also parts of Kentucky and Mississippi.
