Lee was, at best, mildly opposed to slavery.
...Stonewall Jackson tutored black children...
Let's be fair, his Sunday School class was made up of adults. Both free blacks and slaves, half a dozen or so belonged to Jackson himself.
...and Davis adopted a black son.
Davis had nothing of the sort.
If Jackson had survived the battle of Chancellorsville, it is very possible that the South would have prevailed at Gettysburg and perhaps would even have won the War Between The States.
Doubtful. Prolonged the rebellion, perhaps. But win? No.
Unlike his northern counterpart, Ulysses S. Grant, General Lee never sanctioned or condoned slavery.
On the contrary, as late as January 1865 Lee called the relationship between master and slave "...the best that can exist between the white and black races while intermingled as at present in this country." In 1856 he proclaimed "The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is known & ordered by a wise Merciful Providence." So not only did Lee condone slavery, he thought it necessary.
Upon inheriting slaves from his deceased father-in-law, Lee immediately freed them.
He did not. When George Washington Parke Custis died in October 1857 he stated that the slaves were to be freed no later than 5 years after his death. Lee freed them in December 1862, five years and two month later.
And according to historians, Jackson enjoyed a familial relationship with those few slaves which were in his home.
According to his wife, Jackson was a fair but firm master who believed that slaves had their place and should be kept there. Nothing familial about it.
In addition, unlike Abraham Lincoln and U.S. Grant, neither Lee nor Jackson ever spoke disparagingly of the black race.
Assuming that you do not consider both men's expressed belief that slavery was the proper place for blacks in the south 'disparaging'.
They were not freed until the Thirteenth Amendment was passed after the conclusion of the war. Grant's excuse for not freeing his slaves was that "good help is so hard to come by these days."
Complete falsehood. The Dent family slaves were freed in February of 1862, a fact borne out by Missouri records. When Julia Grant visited her husband during the seige of Petersburg she brought a hired white servant, something she would not have done had she still had slaves. In addition, Missouri had amended her state constitution to end slavery in the state in January 1865 so it would have been illegal for Mrs. Grant to own slaves as late as December 1865 when the 13th Amendment kicked in. That quote attributed to Grant is completely bogus, no date or source has ever been provided.
To think that Lee and Jackson (and the vast majority of Confederate soldiers) would fight and die to preserve an institution they considered evil and abhorrent is the height of absurdity! It is equally repugnant to impugn and denigrate the memory of these remarkable Christian gentlemen! In an 1857 letter to his sister concerning his half-brother Wirt Woodson's plans, Jackson wrote: "I would not want him [Wirt] to go into a free state if it can be avoided, for he would probably become an abolitionist; and then in the even of trouble between North and South he would stand on one side and we on the other." So not only is it clear that Jackson believed that trouble would come between North and South over slavery, he knew exactly which side he would fight on. That of slavery.
Of course, Lincoln's views on slavery and the black race are widely known (at least by those familiar with history). In fact, if Lincoln were alive today, he would no doubt be identified as a white supremacist.
As would every single southern leader of the time.
Furthermore, both Jackson and Lee emphatically supported the abolition of slavery. In fact, Lee called slavery "a moral and political evil." He also said "the best men in the South" opposed it and welcomed its demise. Jackson said he wished to see "the shackles struck from every slave."
Absolutely nothing could be further from the truth. In that letter where Lee said slavery was evil he later said, "Although the Abolitionist must know this, & must See that he has neither the right or power of operating except by moral means & suasion, & if he means well to the slave, he must not Create angry feelings in the Master; that although he may not approve the mode which it pleases Providence to accomplish its purposes, the result will nevertheless be the same; that the reasons he gives for interference in what he has no Concern, holds good for every kind of interference with our neighbors when we disapprove their Conduct; Still I fear he will persevere in his evil Course." So Lee believed abolition was an 'evil course'. Jackson's wife said that Jackson believed that slavery was sactioned by God, and that man had no cause to question His plans.
Instead of allowing a politically correct culture to sully the memory of Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson, all Americans should hold them in a place of highest honor and respect.
Far better to make them into something they were not through lies, myths, misquotes, and out-and-out nonsense. </sarcasm>
Then... you appear to tacitly agree that Lincoln by today's standards would be a White Supremacist while countering with what I guess you believe is a solid defense:
As would every single southern leader of the time.
