Lee didn't actually own any slaves. They were his wife's inheritance.
This isn't true. Yes, his wife owned slaves. But Lee also owned slaves of his own.

Not going to rehash pages of posts, but this is unsupportable. All the Lee slaves were gone before he came of age. He moved from his mother's townhouse in Alexandria to West Point - then after married Mary, moved onto a Parke Custis property. U.S. Grant owned at least 1 more slave than Robert E. Lee did (which was 0).
