A.P. Hill had a brother named Baptist and Hill was very much opposed to slavery and never owned a slave in his life. In fact he believed it was an evil institution, in contrast to many other high ranking Confederates. One time he read a letter from his brother Baptist about an African-American man who was falsely accused of murder and was lynched in his hometown and out of anger, Hill demanded that the perpetrators behind his lynching would be hanged as murderers. He joined the Confederacy only to serve his home state of Virginia and was perhaps the most anti-slavery Confederate general in the Civil War.
