In other words, a classic Wlat non-response. Sorry Walt, but you lied and you got caught. You claimed to have a letter from Lee that was a ringing endorsement of continuing slavery. After pressuring you for that letter repeatedly, you finally consented and posted it. Turns out that, far from being a letter endorsing slavery, it was urging the confederate government to offer emancipation and a payment to slaves and their families in exchange for service!

People can read Lee's letter and make their own conclusions.

Walt

That they can and any sane, reasonable person will notice how blatantly you were lying. You claimed to have a letter from Lee that was a ringing endorsement of continuing slavery at all costs and as a good for the confederacy.

I pressured you for that letter, and sure enough it is a call for the confederate government to offer slaves and their families emancipation and compensation in exchange for fighting! In other words, the complete opposite of what you claimed it was.
