🏦"[Immediately Post Civil War] Grant became one of the greatest friends of Jews in American history. When he was president, he appointed more Jews to office than any previous president.
Grant has been estimated to have appointed more than fifty Jewish people to federal office including consuls, district attorneys, and deputy postmasters. Grant appointed Jewish citizen Simon Wolf Washington, D.C., recorder of deeds. Grant appointed Jewish citizen Edward S. Salomon territorial governor of Washington, the first time an American Jew occupied a governor's seat. Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise said "Grant has revoked Grant's notorious order No. 11."
“President Ulysses S. Grant, who befriended Jesse Seligman when he was a First Lieutenant near Watertown, New York, offered Joseph Seligman✡️ (Lincoln’s wartime banker) the post of United States Secretary of the Treasury, which he declined"
