Fuck that.

"The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is known & ordered by a wise Merciful Providence."

He felt that slavery was more 'harmful' to the white man than the blacks that were actually under chains. He owned a few slaves.

While he wasn't a slave trader or owned tons of them as a deep south plantation owner, he felt that somehow god ordained them to be slaves. that's fucked up.

While Lee did hold a lukewarm disapproval of slavery, he was not entirely pro-slavery either.

Regarding his character, he is both revered and respected by many.  [/quote]

when you think slavery was ordained by god, slaves benefit from being slaves (a line of thinking many like cliven bundy share to this day), and that only god has the answer to when they will be free....

that isn't lukewarm disapproval.

that isn't good character.

you are an idiot. [/quote]
