Antisemitism has historically been an issue within the United States of America for centuries, becoming more prominent in the late 1800s, as the Jewish population had become more significant. Antisemitism has affected many individuals and businesses within the Jewish community.
At various points in American history, people of Jewish descent have been barred from owning businesses, attending certain events or clubs and have been the victims of violence. Overtime the Jewish community built thriving businesses, became more accepted in the American mainstream resulting in a decrease of antisemitic behavior.
