Summary
Jewish Soldiers in the Civil War: The Union Army examines the experience of Jewish Americans who served in the Union forces during the American Civil War. Adam D. Mendelsohn explores how these soldiers navigated their dual identities as Jews and Americans during this pivotal conflict. The book documents their military service, the challenges they faced regarding religious observance in army life, and instances of antisemitism within the ranks. It also analyzes how their participation in the war shaped both Jewish-American identity and their integration into American society during the nineteenth century.
