"Why do you suppose Lee thought slavery was a greater evil for whites than for blacks?"

Thomas Jefferson had thoughts along the same lines. He believed owning slaves necessarily corrupted the slave owner. I would look up some quotes, but I have to get to work...

Thomas Jefferson also wanted to ship all the freed slaves to Santo Domingo.
