Robert E. Lee was the Commanding General of the Confederate Army
Robert E. Lee was known for fighting for the south for slaves.
I think it was what his slaves called him: 'Marse Robert'.
Slaves. He was the most revered and respected person in the Confederacy and he was against slavery. He freed the slaves that had come to him by way of his father-in-law's estate will.
There is no historical evidence that Lee slept with any of his slaves.
they had: Cotton production Slaves Land Well prepared army officers Robert E. Lee They where fighting on their own soil They where familiar with using good weapons
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
his view was tht the south needed slaves to work their land

General Lee did not have a slave wife, nor did he own any slaves. Gen. Grant owned 3 slaves. The photo of one of them is displayed at Appomatox Manor Battlefield Park in Hopewell VA. (From new respondent) This may be a reference to Lee's wife's father (Custis), who owned many slaves. Custis had gained popularity with these slaves by promising them that they would be freed on his death. Unfortunately he did not explain that they were classified as property in his will, and that they would have to wait until the will was administered, which would take a couple of years. Lee was executor of the will, and had to cope with the slaves, who were feeling swindled and rebellious. His disciplining of them (in some cases, with the whip) has been criticised as brutal, though it is possible to see it as necessary. Like many respectable Southerners, Lee appeared to believe (conveniently?) that slavery was a God-given provision, and that God would bring it to an end when He saw fit.
