Antisemitism in America

The Anti-Defamation League is an organization that has been fighting antisemitism and educating the public about it for decades.

Antisemitism in American History is a well-written historical overview of the development of Antisemitism in America. The discussion begins with the first Jews arriving in America in 1654 and continues to show the growth and development of Antisemitism to today.

"During the Civil War, for example, anti-Jewish intolerance increased dramatically on both sides, with both the Union and Confederacy making baseless accusations that Jews aided the opposing side."
