Abstrakt:	The article focuses on the Seligman affair, when Jewish banker Joseph Seligman and his family were denied stay at the The Grand Union Hotel in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1877. The author explores how the Seligman affair exemplifies legal anti-Jewish discrimination and anti-Semitism, describes the legislation that disproportionately disadvantaged Jews at this time, and examines how law makers failed to ensure Jewish civil rights.
