Lee freed the fmily slaves as soon as he inherited them. That is more than Grant did,a dn freeign all of them is more than Lincoln ever did.

Factually wrong on both charges.

Lincoln never cared about freeing the slaves and said so himself. He only freed those who were not under hsi control — i.e., those in the part of the Confederacy still under Confederate control.
