[quote=Anonymous][quote]Are we really suppose the blame people whom lived in an era where slavery and segregation was an unarguable stance that was unanimous among all politicians?[/quote] This is why we need better history education in the United States. There was NO POINT in US history when slavery and segregation were unanimous positions among all politicians. Not one single solitary moment from the day the first African slaves arrived on our shores. There were always abolitionists. Free Blacks, escaped enslaved people, Quakers, lots of folks with just plain moral good sense. This idea that someone like Robert E Lee was just going along with the conventional wisdom of the times is absurd on its face, because if "every politician" agreed that slavery was good and normal, then we wouldn't have had a whole war over it.
