Quick question but how widespread was anti-semitism in mid-nineteenth century in New York? I was reading a history of the Rothschilds a little while ago and it mentioned that in hindsight one of their major mistakes was never setting up a house in New York, instead leaving local affairs to either a local bank or, after they had gone bankrupt in the crisis of 1837, a clerk of theirs who effectively talked his was into the position without prior approval. I was just wondering if they had sent a relative to set up a US branch how much hostility - overt or covert, in business or socially - they might have faced.
