What many ill-informed and unlettered human beings fail to realize - TopicsExpress



          

What many ill-informed and unlettered human beings fail to realize is that General Lee was a staunch abolitionist who stood AGAINST the institution of slavery. He had freed any and all slaves acquired by his ancestors over a decade prior to the start of the Civil War due to its inhumanity. Lee was also the first and ONLY white man with enough courage and honor to kneel alongside a black man when receiving Holy Communication at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Richmond while the rest of white aristocracy watched on in horror. When questioned about his unthinkable act he is quoted as saying "We are all equals in blood and humanity."
