In America with the promise of religious freedom, race as opposed to religion divided society and nowhere was that more true in the South were slavery reign and even the poorest of whites saw their social status rise by virtue of their whiteness. Jews in the upper classes especially saw this as their ticket to freedom from persecution that haunted them in Europe. Assimilation into Southern life was the best way for Jews to attain acceptance with their Southern Christian counterparts. ... It happened supporting the slavery and then the Confederacy was ticket to that acceptance for Jews living in the South and they took advantage of everything their whiteness could offer them in America." #IRLHistoricalFigureJudahBenjamin ^[Wikipedia] #NarrativeWarAmericanCivilAntebellum #IdentityJewish #PhenomnWhiteness #PolicyCulturalAssimilation #PowerControlChattelSlavery #NarrativeWarAmericanCivilConfederacy

#EDUUSYaleUniversityAvalonProject "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin." https://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_missec.asp #PowerControlChattelSlaveryAbolitionism
