As an adult, Benjamin was a nonobservant Jew, who was not a member of a synagogue and took no part in communal affairs. He rarely spoke of his religion publicly.
HE ALSO BEGAN ADVOCATING TO FREE SLAVES AND ENDED UP BEING EXILED .. KEEP TRYING THO
I've read the Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews -- who cares is he was "nonobservant" - he was a Jew and viewed and treated as such.
Jews halt any conversation about their evil deeds. In addition, to trying to make Minister Farrakhan look like he is full of hate -- and he is NOT.
What they did to Dr. Tony Martin was disgusting. They are now doing the same to Marc Lamont Hill.
And nah. Judah Benjamin never did that -- and exiled from where? He went into "exile" cause he was a Confederate WAR Criminal - not cause he was trying to free Black people. Stop the lies.
He was a advocate and spokesman for slavery.
In early 1854, Senator Douglas introduced his Kansas–Nebraska Bill, calling for popular sovereignty to determine whether the Kansas and Nebraska territories should enter the Union as slave or free states. Depending on the outcome of such elections, slavery might spread to territories closed to it under the Missouri Compromise of 1820. In the debate over the bill, Benjamin defended this change as returning to "the traditions of the fathers", that the federal government not legislate on the subject of slavery. He said that the South merely wished to be left alone.
In May 1856, Benjamin joined the Democrats, stating they had the principles of the old-time Whig Party.[44] He indicated, in a letter to constituents, that as Northern Whigs had failed to vote to uphold the rights granted to Southern states in the Constitution, the Whigs, as a national party, were no more.[45]
Benjamin worked to deny Douglas the 1860 Democratic presidential nomination, feeling he had turned against the South. Douglas contended that although the Supreme Court, in Dred Scott v. Sandford, had stated Congress could not restrict slavery in the territories, the people of each territory could pass legislation to bar it. This position was anathema to the South.
