Judah Benjamin - The Jewish Confederate

[Jim Garrett]

If I remember correctly, (Gene please correct me if I'm wrong), Benjamin was the only high ranking Confederate official never to return to the United States. While a US Senator, his wife left him and took their daughter. She settled in Paris, and he regularly visited his estranged wife and child. He is buried in Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris, as are Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde.
