Let me help remind you. He took a leave of absence to settle his father in law’s estate.
To do that he had to work the slaves to pay off debts.

Accordingly as executor he installed himself as overseer, put the slaves to work on the plantation, as well as renting them out.

Ring any bells yet?

“Ring any bells yet?”

Yes, and it was a warning bell that you were engaged in twisting history.

You tried to pass off the claim that Lee was a slaveowner and a slave overseer.

In truth he was acting as executor of his father in law’s will, which you conveniently left out of your initial post.

No surprise there, donny. Your style is to just leave out what doesn’t suit your agenda.
