Lee called slavery "An unmixed evil", did not believe in it. Duty, and honor to one's self and country were his major beliefs.

Robert E. Lee disapproved of slavery and secession, the only reason he joined the South is because his home ,Virginia seceded along with the other Southern states. He disliked the South for seceding and slavery, but he could not betray his people. He didn't disliked the North, but he did not like how the U.S. government was handling the situation
Robert E. Lee was against slavery. He actually freed all the slaves he had. The only reason he fought for the Confederacy was because he wanted to stay loyal to his home state of Virginia.

Robert e lee believed slavery was wrong but still fought for the south because he had to fight for his home, the south.
I believe that Robert E. Lee became general in the April of 1861.
The idea that slavery should not be ended all at once, but phased-out over time, was sensible enough. It was the moralising about it that lacked credibility. Even Robert E. Lee, the epitome of the responsible Southern aristocrat, declared that slavery was an undoubted evil that the Almighty would bring to an end when He saw fit. It is hard to believe that Lee actually thought this.
yes
All were against slavery
Robert E. Lee
Ultimately, it was Lee's failure that changed the world. Grant's victory led to the 14th Amendment. Had Lee won, slavery would have remained intact.
