Lee was not a slaveholder. He abhorred slavery. He refused to bear arms against his home state of Virginia. In those days, slavery was a 10th amendment issue, much like marijuana and abortion are today. I’m from the south, many generations back, and lost distant uncle’s and cousins to Lincoln’s oppression. We served the Constitution AS WRITTEN. But Lincoln thought it better to just crush us with unending manpower and bottomless factory production. And still we whooped them 6:1.
