You are a liar and an imbecile. I did not say Lee NEVER owned a slave. I said he owned not one and was referring to the time of the invasion from the north as the context indicates. But you refuse the facts even when a former freed slave who was a well known and respected Baptist preacher gives a first hand account. I will not waste my time answering your accusations to which answers you have been made blind.

You said, "Robert E. Lee did not own slaves, but many Union generals did." Both ends of that statement are flat out false.

I said he owned not one and was referring to the time of the invasion from the north as the context indicates.

The context does not indicate that at all. Nor do the facts, since he had title to the slaves left from his father-in-laws estate.

But you refuse the facts even when a former freed slave who was a well known and respected Baptist preacher gives a first hand account.

Because Mack Lee's account is bogus start to finish, riddled with errors that an idiot should be able to spot, and is contradicted by reputable historians including Douglas Southall Freeman. Given all that, I'll leave believing him to the gullible types like yourself.

I will not waste my time answering your accusations to which answers you have been made blind.

How about naming a couple of those slave-owning Northern generals you mentioned? Please? Pretty please? With sugar on it?
