Lee would have endorsed the view of General Richard (son of Zachary) Taylor who said that he and his fellow Southerners had fought not for the preservation of slavery...

It's awfully presumptuous of the author to assume that Lee was a liar.

The current (Feb. 2009) issue of Civil War Times contains a very pursuasive article which suggests that Lee was an adamant supporter of slavery who was very hard on the slaves he held.

It's presumptious for anyone to claim knowledge of the motives of dead men.
