On December 17, 1862, General Ulysses Grant wrote to the Assistant
Adjutant General of the US Army:
"I have long since believed that in spite of all the vigilance that
can be infused into post commanders, the specie regulations of the
Treasury Department have been violated, and that mostly by the Jews
and other unprincipled traders. So well satisfied have I been of this
that I instructed the commanding officer at Columbus to refuse all
permits to Jews to come South, and I have frequently had them expelled
from the department. But they come in with their carpet-sacks in spite
of all that can be done to prevent it. The Jews seem to be a
privileged class that can travel anywhere. They will land at any
woodyard on the river and make their way through the country. If not permitted to buy cotton themselves, they will act as agents for
someone else, who will be at a military post with a Treasury permit to receive cotton and pay for it in Treasury notes which the Jew will buy
at an agreed rate, paying gold."
Also, on December 17, 1862, General Ulysses S. Grant issued General
Orders No. 11. This order banished all Jews from Tennessee's western military.
General Orders No. 11 declared:
"1. The Jews, as a class, violating every regulation of trade
established by the Treasury Department, are hereby expelled from the Department.
"2. Within 24 hours from the receipt of this order by Post Commanders,
they will see that all of this class of people are furnished with
passes required to leave, and anyone returning after such
notification, will be arrested and held in confinement until an
opportunity occurs of sending them out as prisoners, unless furnished
with permits from these headquarters.
"3. No permits will be given these people to visit headquarters for
the purpose of making personal application for trade permits.
"By order of Major Gen. Grant.
"Jno. A. Rawlings,
Assistant Adjutant General"
