Trade between the North and the South during the US Civil War was legal if a permit from either the US Treasury Department or issued by certain Union generals. General Grant saw allot of corruption regarding this and in December of 1862 he issued his infamous General Order No. 11.

This order expelled all Jews in Grant's area of responsibility, as in his eyes Jewish traders were responsible for corruption. When Lincoln learned of this he informed Grant's superior, General Halleck to have Grant rescind his order.
