Ulysses S. Grant and General Orders No. 11

On December 17, 1862, Grant issued General Orders No. 11, which stated: “The jews, as a class, violating every regulation of trade established by the Treasury Department, and also Department orders, are hereby expelled from the Department.”

The order was immediately controversial and received condemnation from the jewish community. At least thirty jewish families living in Paducah, Kentucky (located within Grant’s military department) were forced to move from their homes. Newspapers heavily criticized Grant for his orders, and he was nearly censured by Congress. Politicians, including President Lincoln, were bombarded by the jewish community with protests over Grant’s orders. There were many soldiers serving in the Union armies who were jewish, and it did not seem to be right to be fighting for a country that was expelling their own people.

President Lincoln immediately had General Henry Halleck order Grant to rescind General Orders No. 11. These orders became a stain on Grant’s reputation for the rest of his life.

"There were many soldiers serving in the Union armies who were jewish"

Yeah, not likely. I would need to see some proof of this claim as something that occurred as the jews always exempt themselves from having to fight in their own wars due to the main purpose of them being to genocide more Aryan men.
