I think it's slightly dishonest on both sides. Lee most certainly supported slavery in the sense he used them to right his inherited plantation after it had fallen on hard times.
He honored the instructions of the Custis will. He was to emancipate the slaves once the plantation was in good financial position. That is exactly what he did.
