Since 1859, there have been "accusations" that Lee, once, was involved in the whipping of three runaway slaves. However, to my knowledge, there is no evidence that Lee ordered anyone to be whipped or that he personally whipped anyone.
Several publications have repeated these allegations during this millennium; however, they have not supplied necessary corroboration to make these accusations factual in my opinion.
If you have any evidence or nonbias testimony concerning this incident, please send them to me. I'd like to read them:

I think it was what his slaves called him: 'Marse Robert'.
There is no historical evidence that Lee slept with any of his slaves.
Slaves did not become Confederate Generals, my friend!
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.
The last of the slaves inherited by Lee's wife were freed in 1862 at the start of the war. Most stayed on at the plantation or at the federally established Freedman's Village on the property. Their descendants still live in Arlington County Robert E Lee granted his personal slave freedom in 1858
