This is false. So is a lot more of your statement. I'll bump the thread tomorrow and answer it. Friday fun!
Stuart was out looking for shoes and pillage when he should have been doing Recon looking for the Army of of the Potomac. When he showed up on the second day at Gettysburg he said, "Ah shit! How'd I miss those guys".
So not true. This is the equivalent of reading US Weekly and calling it fact. Trash talk of the era that was false. Lee's orders were extremely vague and Stuart did the best one could under the circumstances.
The era of Calvary charges had ended with the advent of rifles. Calvaries were relegated to reconnaissance. Vague instructions or not, where was JEB Stuart until July 2nd. How did he happen to miss the Union Calvary followed by army of 50k soldiers?
Calvary is where Jesus was crucified. Cavalry are soldiers on horseback.

Then, you should stick to posting to threads like, "Where did Larla originate," and "Skinny Shug's (stop snitchin videos) baby got shot in Baltimore." This is DCUM and we don't expect intelligent input, but for God's sake, if you know nothing, say nothing.

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.
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.
NP. You need to realize the circumstances of the time. I've been to Africa. It's a big continent. Many places are shitholes. There is much genocode. Africans sold Africans into slavery. So, his statement that they were better off is not too far from the truth. He was also raised to believe that slavery was normal. Slaves existed in the bible and it is not condemned.
I am not racist or in favor of slavery. But you have to put things in historical perspective to understand.
Ah yes, the historical perspective. So were the abolitionists just ahead of their times? Is this akin to the premature anti-fascists of the 1930s? Only acceptable to oppose Hitler and Franco after the annexation of Sudetenland?
Most abolitionists came from the north - where there were no skaves. Northern a did not grow up seeing slavery as normal. It was easy for them to see the evil in it. If you were born in the south, from birth you were indoctrinated into slavery being normal.
Hitler murdering Jews is quite different.
NP, it was quite acceptable to own, beat, maim, rape, and kill the Blacks. But it was not acceptable for Hitler and those who considered it the norm for the time to kill Jews. killing Jews were different, but killing Blacks were explainable. They were both EVIL.
