stand watie: Out of historical curiosity certainly more than from any animosity on my part, have you researched this topic either at Arlington National Cemetary or any other repository? Or, are you assuming from the laws that General Lee must have violated them when freeing the slaves in question? I have never seen this before, and as you can tell from my screenname (refers to Gen. Lee's paternal grandfather), I have an interest in this branch of the Lee family. Please let me know...
