>A specialist in modern Jewish history at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, Adam Mendelsohn, wrote the following in a New York University collective work on the Jews during the Civil War:

>The centenary of the Civil War coincided with a period when Jewish loyalties in the South were once more disputed. In Alabama, the State B’nai B’rith deployed Judah P. Benjamin – a Louisianan – to fight its cause. The organization devoted a session of its annual convention in 1962 to the “commemoration of the Jewish contribution to the War between the States.” The event featured Jefferson Davis biographic Hudson Strode speaking on “Jefferson Davis and His Jewish Confederates.” The Huntsville Times reported that the convention would “kick off with a Banquet and Dance Saturday night, with the theme ‘Judah P. Benjamin Nite.” J.s. Gallinger, the State B’nai B’rith president, entitled his annual report “The Convenant Confederacy Annual Convention.” More significant than the pageantry was the decision to sponsor the erection of a monument at the capital in Alabama in honor of the “merits of Judah P. Benjamin, as a son of the Jewish people.”
