One of my Brother Rats (classmates) at the Virginia Military Institute was a direct descendent of a rabbi who had been Jewish chaplain in the Army of Northern Virginia. A number of other Jewish cadets had forebears who had fought for the South, as well as in the Revolutionary War. In those days, Southerners distinguished between 'Yankee Jews' and "Southerners of the Jewish Faith" (as one of my Jewish Brother Rats explained to me).

And don't forget Judah Benjamin who served as the Confederate's Attorney-General, Secretary of State and Secretary of War.
