re: Robert E. Lee has been misrepresented by regressive "historians"

In that regard, Lee well understood impact the war would have on his family financially. He also planned to free his own slaves in under two years. He did so early in the war, 2-3yrs before slaves in the North were released.

An interesting aside... what became of slaves in the states that outlawed slavery. Surely all those slaves were emancipated. I'm sure the slave owners of the north didn't just ship their slaves south to be auctioned off.
