But if you look long enough you'll also find anti slavers among those dedicated to fighting the North (Lee, Hampton).

Can you really say that Lee was anti-slavery? And Hampton? Isn't it a question of not being enthusiastic about slavery as some were? Or perhaps of taking doubts about slavery or secession to mean actual opposition to slavery?

read my post #455 for one. There are more examples. Of course we all know that Lincoln was anti-slavery until such stance threatened his beloved union. Are you pinging NS for drinks?
