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

He did so early in the war, 2-3yrs before slaves in the North were released.


as for NCtigah, this 100% false. Lee's slaves were released on Jan 1st 1863

Slaves in states like Delaware were not released until Dec 1865, December 6, 1865 to be precise. That would be 2 yrs 11 months and 6 days after Lee's last slave was set free.

You said the statement Lee freed his slaves 2-3yrs before slaves in the North were released was 100% false.
Now you say I've been a hack in this thread.
Have it as you will.

To put it mildly, I'm not a fan of revisionism. Nor am I a fan of history taught, learned or recited through a wholly noncontemporary basis. That is what is happening in this thread.

Sorry if it comes across as prickly, but some of the imbecilic rote assertions arising here are annoying. They share a great deal with those who know nothing of history except that they want to censure or destroy it.
