Just for the record Robert E. Lee was against slavery and thought it was against slavery. Though he did have some weird views on it. He only sided with the south because he believed in states rights and thought if the North won the south would in many ways be slaves to the north or that the whole country would just be slaves to the government. Also, had America lost the revolutionary war slavery would of been abolished there. It already was abolished by the English during the revolutionary war. So if you think he was a racist you should feel the same way about people like John Adams and many other nothern state revolutionists who found slavery immoral and thought it should be illegal. Robert E Lee actually saw it more as a sin on the white person then the black person. Probably do to the whole "physical life" vs "Afterlife" thing. |
I know why he sided with the South. In fact the Civil War was about states rights and not slavery. Doesn't change my view on Robert E. Lee. He fought for the oppressors of my people despite his disbelief in slavery. That makes him worse than the actual slave owners in my view. |
So you feel the same way about everyone who fought in the revolutionary war then as well? As well as basically every war until Slavery was abolished as the countries we fought were as far as I know always anti-slavery.
