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).

Even if you disregard the ownership argument, it is a fact that Robert E. Lee was directly involved in slavery through his management of the Custis slaves.
