This day marks 150th anniversary of day of infamy for America

   Today, the 150th anniversary, then, of one of the darkest moments in American history. For, it was Dec. 17, 1862, that Ulysses S. Grant issued General Order 11, calling for the expulsion of Jews from Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi, the territory he was over as a general in the Civil War.
   President Lincoln, as quick as the outrage reached him, ordered that the order be overturned. So, you might not think to make much of this. Still, the order was issued. And stood for the better part of a month. And we as a country of free people stood for that short time as a nation that was driving the Jews to and fro and persecuting them.
