So he personally freed more slaves than he ever himself owned?
I wonder if Lincoln can say the same.
Lee didn’t free more slaves than he owned. Rather, he delayed freedom granted by his father in law, to the extent he could. My understanding is that all but 50,000 US slaves were freed by Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and the hard fighting of the US forces.
Certainly that is far more than were freed by RE Lee.
Hmmm. Interesting point. Say, can the southern born Democrat Party, say, they ever freed, any slaves?
