    Modern anti-Semitism was at its worst point after the civil war and the reconstruction era in American history circa 1860s-1940s. Anti-Semitism, according to social scientist, seems to be declining since WWII and some historians even argue that American Jews no longer face any type of prejudice. The discrimination of Jews from 1860s till the 1940s was seen in two forms, practical and ideological. Many Jews in the period after reconstruction faced physical discrimination, such as being excluded from hotels, universities, fraternities, hospitals, and also faced much social discrimination (Katz, 144). Ideological anti-Semitism affects the lives of Jews as well; people talking about Judaism in a negative way, and the way in which Jews were portrayed in the media.
