We are familiar with some of the various Senators like Davis, Clay or Chesnut, who resigned and "went South" when the Confederacy was forming. One we rarely hear about was Senator David L. Yulee from Florida.His name actually David Levy and he was the first Jewish person elected to the U.S. Senate. I don't know much about this person but I read that his father and Judah Benjamin's father were first cousins.
