This article focuses on the book "A Mask for Privilege: Antisemitism in America," by Cary McWilliams. Carey McWilliams observes in this latest of his excellent books on minorities, it was to be expected that the wielders of the immense power generated by the civil war would strive fiercely to protect and extend their vested interests against all corners, and especially against the feared Jew. Their use of anti-Semitism became flagrantly evident in 1877, when a swank Saratoga hotel refused accommodations to the prominent banker Joseph Seligman.
