JUDAH BENJAMIN: THE BIG JEW OF THE CONFEDERACY
http://tomatobubble.com/id866.html
"Judah P. Benjamin was known as "the brains of the Confederacy," its "court Jew," "the statesman of the Lost Cause," and even "the Confederate Kissinger. As, successively, Attorney General, Secretary of War and Secretary of State in the Confederate Cabinet, he was President Jefferson Davis' closest and most trusted adviser."
- The New Orleans Times Picayunne / 'The Confederate Kissinger' / April 20, 2010 When he bades Postmaster Reagan goodbye, the Postmaster asks where Benjamin is going. Benjamin replies: "To the farthest place from the United States, if it takes me to the middle of China." (here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judah_P._Benjamin)) While other Confederate leaders, including the trusting fool Jefferson Davis, are being jailed and abused, Benjamin arrives in London before traveling to Paris - where his wife and daughter had been sent to live years before the war had even started. Benjamin then moves back to England and will enjoy a very profitable career and “second life” as an attorney, until his death in 1884. Congressman John Wise, son of Confederate General and Virginia Governor Henry Wise, wrote a highly popular book about the South in the Civil War in 1899, The End of an Era. In it, he stated: "(Benjamin) had more brains and less heart than any other civic leader in the South ... The Confederacy and its collapse were no more to Judah P. Benjamin than last year's bird's nest." more at link
