Or a natural reaction to a better environment
In the North following the war, especially in New England, the women responded to the war by simply becoming spinsters
Cleaner, better farmland, prettier
thus the traditional Yankee population declined
and was largely replaced by Irish Catholics, French Canadian Catholics and others
Yeah not many WASPs left
Yankee Population growth had been declining since the early 1800's when many farm families sent their daughters to work in factories instead of getting married
Oh and feminism started growing in the north
Jewish influence you mean
There was a famous panting featuring New England factory girls
Jewish Influence was much higher in the South than in the North BEFORE the 1870s
believe it or not
but the Southern jews were largely commerical at the time
there were few Jews in the North before the 1850s
Good read
Yeah it was
Feminism began coming to the USA as a result of Thomas Jefferson's open immigration
Spencer is coming through for us
allowing in alot of French Refugees
Jews is the south were planters. In the north they were lawyers and bankers. They had wormed their waybinto power in both places
There were almost zero Jew bankers and lawyers in the North till the 1870s
there were some finaicers
but not at every level of power
Lincoln's mentor was a Jewish lawyer
It was a completely different thing
Most Jews in the north had legal power thwn
There weren't hundreds of thousands of them like there are today, but they were there and they were upper class
There were no elected Jews in the North, there were Jewish senators in the South
Judah P Benjamin and David Yulee represented Louisiana and Florida
in the 1840s
Jews don't need to be elected to have power and influence
The Jewish Power in the North largely came in the 1870s
1870s
Before 1870 most of the Jews in the North were cheap curio junk shop owners, scrap sellers and hustlers
the ones from Germany were broke for the most part when they got here, some had money
Well at the time it was "modernism"
After the Civil War though they invested heavily in Reconstruction
That's just false dude
The Jews murdered Lincoln so they could control Reconstruction more directly and plus it gave them a martyr
