From Fernandina Observer:
David Levy Yulee: A Man, A Moment in Time, A Monument
Submitted by Ron Kurtz
Former Director Amelia Island Museum
June 12, 2014 1:00 a.m.There is a new presence at the foot of Centre Street, in front of our Historic Depot. Fernandina is the site of the first public statue honoring David Levy Yulee. He remains a central player in Florida’s Nineteenth Century history.
… This is not David Levy Yulee’s first “first.” He played a significant role in our state’s history. Like most of us, his life displayed contradictions, but the end result is that he served us well, first by representing the territory of Florida in Washington D.C. and later as a two-term US Senator, the first Jew to hold that position. …
David is considered to be the Father of Florida Statehood. …
… Having fought valiantly and successfully for statehood, David was among the first to secede. A man of his region, he was a Jacksonian Democrat who strongly supported the concept of States’ Rights, territorial expansion, rugged individualism and a small central government. …
At the end of the War, David was held in Ft. Pulaski due to a letter he sent to Joseph Finegan. It was discovered when the Federal troops took control of Amelia Island. In it, David encouraged seizing Federal military property and turning it over to the Confederacy. This was considered a treasonable offense, as it was sent before secession while he was still serving as a U.S. Senator. Yulee was granted amnesty in May 1866 through the intervention of General Ulysses S. Grant, some 13 months after the conclusion of the war.
Yulee’s prosperity, like that of so many in the early years of our Country’s history, was enabled through the labor of slaves. Thankfully, after the War, this would no longer be the case. Yulee redirected his considerable energy and vision on the future. Pragmatically, in a letter to a friend, he stated, “It is bootless to look back.” His desire for political power had been channeled into rebuilding the future of his railroad and Florida’s economy. …
David Levy Yulee is the Father of Florida Statehood and the first Jew to serve as a U.S. Senator, a visionary who wrested a railroad from the wilderness that was early Florida.
This new statue of the politician known as “Florida Fire Eater” for his pro-slavery speeches was unveiled on June 12, 2014.
Unlike his cousin Judah P. Benjamin, the second Jewish Senator, Levy Yulee didn’t hold important posts under the Confederacy. And unlike Benjamin who fled to England in 1865 to escape punishment, after the war Levy Yulee did his time, and then got back to work building up Florida’s railroads. He was so successful at this that President Grant came to stay at Yulee Levy’s house. This exercise in good will was seen as a symbol of reconciliation between the North and the South.
I predict people will steal the bag, unless it has been cleverly designed not to be stolen.
Huh.
Stephen Foster and Robert E. Lee become non-persons, blacks at Columbia call for the removal of the Hamilton and Jefferson statues… but (((David Levy Yulee))), slavery advocate and secessionist, gets a statue.
What’s next? A statue of (((Judah P. Benjamin)))? Right next to an Obama statue, maybe?
My, this intersectionality thing gets confusing, doesn’t it?
Some people are more equal than others.
You people got a problem with that?
Nice little web forum you have here.
Be a shame if something happened to it..
In Deep South, extremely rural Nassau County, population 81,000, area 726 mi^2, 73% Trump. Perhaps more revealing of the sort of area it is, is this string of results: 66% JFK ’60 … 53% Goldwater ’64 … 56% Wallace ’68 … 79% Nixon ’72 … 65% Carter ’76 … 51% Reagan ’80.
Compare Rockingham County, NH, itself fairly rural and conservative at population 303,000, area 795 mi^2, 50% Trump.
Judah P. Benjamin – Does anyone else find it weird that the most prominent Jewish Confederate was named for the two tribes of Israel that lived in the Southern Kingdom after the Israeli North-South split?
If only the highest-ranking Jewish Union guy had a name like Ephraim Manasseh Asher-Gad or something like that.
That’s a good description of what I thought most rebels believed. But try arguing that today. It won’t fly. Or it least it won’t fly for guys not named Levy Yuley.

But no Union Jewish senators or cabinet secretaries?
First Jewish cabinet secretary was Oscar Straus (Commerce and Labor) in 1906. First Jewish senator from a "Northern" state was apparently Joseph Simon (Oregon, 1908). Both Straus and Simon were born in Germany.

Almost 2/3s of Jews hadn’t been in the country long enough to qualify as a Senator (9 years as a citizen). Lincoln’s cabinet secretaries were political rivals and other members of the party; again well established figures.
I wouldn't mind it if they were fiercely criticized for that. Or if no one was fiercely criticized for that, and we elt historical bygones be bygones. Instead, we get Driving Miss Daisy and similar implications of how Jews were also victims. In other words, it is constantly implied that all whites are guilty of slavery (colonialism, holocaust, whatever), but Jews are exempt, even when they were disproportionate among the perpetrators. It's not totally unlike how guilt for communism works.
David Levy Yulee has Levy county in Florida named after him. Yulee, Florida is named after him.

Weren’t David Levy Yulee and Judah P. Benjamin established figures themselves? Looks like, as chance would have it, both established Jewish political figures were on the side of slavery.

And how would you design it, to make it so worthless that no one would deign to steal it?
The bag is probably much easier to secure, since it has a lower profile. I'd suggest doing something like connecting it to five pieces of rebar, stuck deep into the ground. One difficulty would be attempts to steal it would probably damage it. Ideally, I think you would want something made out of steel with a bronze patina, but I don't know how possible it is to do something like that.
There is a Yulee Hall at the University of Florida and the remains of his sugar plantation can be found in a state park near Crystal River.
A great man but no Sam Houston.

There’s no evidence that 19th Century American Jews were more anti-slavery than the 19th Century American average.

You would not want to be a slave on a sugar plantation…..
So, Belmont, the representative of Rothschild interests, settled in New York and supported the Union when push came to shove. But he’d previously backed James Buchanan and was involved in the plan to conquer Cuba as a slave state, so his record was worse than average for a northerner.

In fact, they seem to have been disproportionately pro-slavery. There’s nothing wrong with it, I just don’t like how gentile whites are expected to self-flagellate over the sins of their ancestors (or the ancestors of other members of their ethnic groups), like slavery or the holocaust, while Jews are never expected to do introspection regarding things members of their ethnic groups did in the past, like slavery or communism. (No, not all Jews were commies, and no, not all commies were Jews. But not all whites were slaveholders, and not all slaveholders were white, either. Same thing about Germans and the holocaust, or Hungarians and the holocaust, etc.)

Utah's women have voted in more federal elections than any other state's except Wyoming's. Considering that 44 states are older, that's saying something. Like, this is one weird state.
(It's also shaped like a washing machine. Just what are they laundering there?)
Moses Alexander, another German-born Jew, was serving as Idaho's governor when Bamberger was elected.
Beating both of them to the punch was Washington Bartlett, which sounds like something out of a Northwest orchard. He was born in Savannah and was elected California's governor in 1886. Being of Sephardic descent and irreligious no doubt eased the way a bit.
He was also a Leap Day baby. So he died in office just months before his 16th birthday.
The Jewish capitalist role in white South Africa is pretty epic, but practically no Jews ever think about it.
Jews also played a big role in Barbados:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alison-stein-wellner/jewish-barbados-tracking_b_174758.html
Maybe there is a (((cat))) in it?
Florida is an interesting case because it’s kind of a model of what the south would have been like with no slavery. Florida wasn’t well populated until quite late. Miami was founded as a city in 1896. Most of Florida was too far south to be healthy for whites to live in year round until modern technology started to arrive. But, the fact that the southern half of Florida didn’t get filled in until late wasn’t a catastrophe for the US. Similarly, if the Deep South had been only lightly populated until, say, 1875 due to white people not finding it healthy to farm it, the US would have done okay still.
I call bullsht yet again: it is common knowledge all southerners, then as now, as inbred galoots with no iota of tolerance, never mind acceptance nor praise, for the Jew, bust as they are perpetually lynching Negroes, oppressing women, shaming atheists, and, yes, causing poverty to centres of law…or…something. Besides, any one in any way affiliated with slavery, from Hammurabi to Iceberg Slim, is universally reviled by all and in no case may a statue of him remain, nevrmind be newly erected. So this story about a statue to a Jew is fake news.
No one has mentioned that Levy married a Christian woman (daughter of a governor) , changed his last name to Yulee, converted to Christianity and raised his children as Christians.
You beat me to it. Wikipedia:David Levy Yulee.This rendition of Wikipedia states that Yulee married a Christian and their children were raised as Christians. I had previously read- IIRC in Wikipedia- that Yulee had also converted to Christianity, but there is no mention of a conversion in the current Wikipedia article. Wiki's source is a Jewish online encyclopedia.According to Jew or Not Jew, he converted to Christianity.According to Levy Family:Moses Levy and David Levy Yulee, he converted to Christianity.My inclination is to believe that David Lecy Yulee converted to Christianity.In addition, Judah Benjamin and David Yulee were second cousins.
You people got a problem with that?

Too funny.
This is Florida; there is nothing so worthless that it won’t be stolen, if stealing it is possible.
Well, I guess the starting point would be comparing it to George Washington’s sword (stolen all the time) in the Public Gardens in Boston. Also, the Robert Shaw memorial on the Common, which has the same problem.

A lot of people move to NH from out of state. Rockingham County is right over the border from MA. A lot of people commute from there.
And they owned quite a lot of slave ships I believe.

Felix Mendelssohn was not raised in Judaism, and was baptized and lived his life as a Christian. Jews still seem quite happy to claim him as one of their own.
Traitor David Yulee, the slavemaster, the Florida Fire Eater, was a Christian.

Rockingham County is rural?! It’s most visible locations are the beaches of Rye and the Hamptons, as well as the Boston-commuting yuppies of Derry and Londonderry and the chicos of Salem.

What kind of Jewish family name is Yulee? It sounds Chinese, lol!
One thing that is irritating to me as a Southerner, is it seems like SJW’s seem to think we all want to bring back slavery or something.
My heart is stirred by songs like The Bonnie Blue Flag and grey and butternut uniforms, not to mention the Stars and Bars which somehow became our flag out of all the others flown by the South during the war.
But bring back slavery? I’ll be honest with everyone I, and I think most white Southerners, at least the ones I’ve talked to in my life wish that slave one had never been brought to America. I’m quite sure we think differently than our ancestors did, but you can trust me that this is the overwhelming sentiment today.
That said, I have always thought the North/South enmity existed outside of slavery. I really think that the roots of it go back to Cromwell and the English Civil War.
Obviously there are more sections of the country than Dixie and the New England states, but Yankees rub more people the wrong way than just Southerners.
Really think something else would have been the flashpoint for some kind of conflict, even an armed one, if slavery had never existed in this country.
IMHO, the USA is a social construct if there ever was one. Clearly, Dixieland is a different country and should have gained independence long before the Civil War broke out.
I know, I picked it because I live in MA.
It’s rural compared to where I (Boston suburbs) and Steve (LA suburbs) live.

Dunno. Enthusiasm for secession was quite weak in the areas of the South (e.g., western Virginia, east Tennessee, etc) where slavery was marginal:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_in_the_American_Civil_War#East_Tennessee
That is 100% correct. And there were counties in a number of other Southern states that decided from the get go they weren't seceding. Additionally there was some real doubt that states like Tennessee would actually enter the War on the Southern side. The Southern planter class (and slavery) wasn't exactly popular with the Scotch-Irish of Appalachia and Texas.
But you are also neglecting the fact that support for the War in areas of the North besides New England was pretty tepid in the beginning. I've read at least one history whose conclusion was that if Fort Sumter hadn't been shelled the War might very well not have happened, and Secession may have occurred without a shot being fired.
Then too, it is pretty cliched at this point to say "Duh, it was all about slavery." And pay not one whit's worth of credence to the arguments about tariffs (I believe in this period most of the operating expenses of the Federal government were financed by these). I might add that those economic issues came up time and again, including with Bryan and his many presidential runs, up until about the time of Henry Ford, that being about when manufacturing began to be of importance to more of the local economies in this country.
I guess the point I want to make is that there is a mutual dislike between Southerners and Yankees. And it goes back to Jamestown and Plymouth Rock, not just the expansion of slavery in America.

One of the most puzzling aspects of American culture is the North /South divide which in fact has nothing to do with slaves and plantations, but goes deeper than that. Even the different British origins of the settlers fails to capture the real difference. My theory is that climate and separation (physical separation, as in distance from the North’s cultural centers and population, not just local federal rule) had a lot to do with the deep-seated cultural and political differences.
IMHO, the USA is a social construct if there ever was one. Clearly, Dixieland is a different country and should have gained independence long before the Civil War broke out.

Hmmm reread this.
I know it may be esoteric and of no interest to most, but what am I supposed to get from this?
Jewish Confederate would rather not fight under a flag with the Christian cross?
Doesn’t bug me, I’m more a Cross of St. Andrews guy anyway, as opposed to the Cross of St. George.
I mean would you rather be a highlander with a kilt, a claymore, whiskey, and bagpipes? Or wear a powdered wig?
No contest in my book.
Senator David Levy, the Father of Florida Statehood, the father of Florida railroads, was a Jew.
Traitor David Yulee, the slavemaster, the Florida Fire Eater, was a Christian.
What kind of Jewish family name is Yulee? It sounds Chinese, lol!
The “Levi Family” link in my previous comment claims that Grandfather Yulee was Muslim. Another link with much more detail claims that Grandfather Yuli was was a Sephardic Jew who was an advisor to a Muslim ruler in Morocco. Which sounds more valid to me, as his grandfather’s full name has some Jewish-sounding parts, like Eli and Levi. Hernando Sun:David Levy Yulee.
Then on to the Caribbean and then to the US.
A friend of mine is Jewish and from Morocco. I will ask her if she has heard of the surname Yuli.
First Jewish cabinet secretary was Oscar Straus (Commerce and Labor) in 1906. First Jewish senator from a "Northern" state was apparently Joseph Simon (Oregon, 1908). Both Straus and Simon were born in Germany.
First Gentile governor of Utah (1917-21) was Simon Bamberger, a German-born Jew.

If true, it would mean the only state with a Christian cross on its flag would be Hawaii.
In contrast, seven of Canada’s ten provinces have a cross.
But you can’t beat Quebec’s old one.
Or the Dominican Republic’s present one.
“Like most of us, his life displayed contradictions”
It is like some people are allowed to have contradictions in their beliefs and others aren’t allowed. I wonder if there is a pattern. When you are allowed contradictions it appears to give you moral superiority. No wonder certain people feel they need to remain vigilant.

It’s a common observation among historians that only two states seemed really enthusiastic about fighting, South Carolina and Massachusetts…
Yeah, but those arguments arose in the context of plantation slavery…..
Dunno. Remove slavery from the equation, and everything changes. For example, what would the South look like without a history of slavery……
http://civilwarcauses.org/stat.htm
Compare the states with high levels of slavery (Mississippi, South Carolina) to those with lower levels (Arkansas, Missouri).
It just shows how considerate the South was towards Jewish sensibilities.

Thanks! I wrongly assumed most of the American Sephardic Jews came from the Netherlands or Great Britain.
Traitor David Yulee, the slavemaster, the Florida Fire Eater, was a Christian.
And yet the two were one and the same man, and both of them ethnically jewish.
Traitor David Yulee, the slavemaster, the Florida Fire Eater, was a Christian.
Unclear if you are poking fun at a classic antisemitic trope or simply delivering yourself of one. Either way, fairly telling.
The industrial/agrarian divide continued post civil war. Either innate differences or Northern domination of the federal government in order to punish their rivals were the cause. Either way, it was going to be a break point.
You can get an idea from this:

Yeah, but the actual breaking point occurred in the context of economies that were dependent on plantation slavery…..I’m quite unconvinced that a South that never had plantation slavery would have attempted to secede….
An imperfect mirror (slavery was still a factor)…but it does give us some insight….
You just said it yourself: The Holocaust. It absolves them of everything forever. Even asking the question that you ask is anti-Semitic. Because Holocaust.
