Judah Benjamin: Jewish Statesman and Civil War “Scapegoat”

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:15:20 +0000

During the Civil War era in America, Judah Benjamin played a substantial role in politics. He was a US senator, Confederate attorney general, Secretary of War, and Secretary of State. He was the scapegoat for President Jefferson Davis when Davis intentionally allowed the island of Roanoke to fall to the Union army. For his loyalty Jefferson made him Secretary of State. He was accused of plotting with Davis in the Lincoln assassination and with involvement in a Canadian spy ring against the Union. More information about Judah Benjamin can be found here: www.encyclopedia.com www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org www.civilwarhome.com www.fau.edu www.peanut.org findingaids.cjh.org Information about the Dreyfus Affair mentioned in this video: The Dreyfus Affair was purported to be the catalyzing event that started the Zionist movement. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org Excerpt From zadehamin.blogspot.com “…In France, the Dreyfus Affair, far from epitomizing French anti-Judaism, demonstrates the sway of Jewish influence over the French government; the charges of treason against an obscure French artillery captain would have been of no international significance had he not been Jewish. Thus, it was precisely because he was Jewish that this incident attracted international prominence and was ultimately brought about the transformation of France from a Catholic Christian State into a secular state. The secularisation of France was a seismic political event that repercussions are still felt …

Albert Woolson – Last Confirmed US Civil War Veteran

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:17:28 +0000

This is colour video of Albert Woolson, the last Union veteran of the US Civil War; he is also the last absolutely confirmed veteran of that conflict from either side. This footage, as far as I know, is the very last footage taken of a US Civil War veteran at all. I believe at least one still photograph of Woolson was taken after this video, however. Woolson outlived the second-last Union veteran (James Albert Hard) by well over 3 years, and the last verified Confederate veteran (Pleasant Crump) by about 5 years. Hard was the last verified combat veteran of the US Civil War, known to have been at the battles of Antietam and Chancellorsville. Woolson never saw combat, but his father Willard died of wounds taken at the battle of Shiloh. Young Albert came into contact with the army because of this, when his mother moved them down to be with his father when he was trying to recover. He signed up as a drummer boy. The 1st Minn. Heavy Artillery Regiment never saw action, and Woolson was officially discharged on 7 September, 1865. I know nothing about the girl in the video. If she is still alive, she wouldn’t even be all that old; possibly born in 1950?
