Some say Robert E. Lee.
He declared that slavery was an evil which the Almighty would abolish when He saw fit (though it is very hard to believe that he meant this.)
But he inherited the slaves from his father-in-law's plantation, and whipped them for insubordination.
The trouble was, the old man had told them they would be freed on his death. He didn't explain that it might take a year or two before the will could be administered. So that's why they were getting stroppy.
