I believe he's specifically referencing Robert E. Lee's mentality on the subject of slavery.
After all, y'all are the ones that did the same to Africans
Which is like blaming a murder on the truck driver who brought the gun to the gun store. I guess those cunning yankee merchants must have tricked the south into buying all those slaves the same way Lincoln tricked them into firing on Sumter.
I'd like to see your evidence that the Roswell and New Manchester women were enslaved, by the way. From every reference I can find, they were simply transported out of the theatre of war and left to fend for themselves.
how about the so-called "abolitionists", who at the SAME TIME that they were LOUDLY condemning SOUTHERN slavery, were IN the slave trade. (Garrison being ONE! the editor-in-chief of the NY Times being another.)
OR how about those wonderful "quick-change artists", who SOLD their slaves when slavery became UNPROFITABLE & then immediately condemned slavery, in those places where it was still PROFITABLE???
face it "bubba",you & every other DAMNyankee apologist on FR, are defending FILTH, liars & HYPOCRYTES!
but then HYPOCRASY/DISHONESTY/AMORALITY/GREED has forever been the MAIN trait of the DAMNyankee BIGOTS/ANTI-Semites/south-HATERS.
