#1 I'm being picky here but Robert E. Lee didn't own any slaves. His wife inherited her Father's slaves. One condition of Lee taking over management of Arlington was that if any slave came to Mars Lee and asked for his freedom Lee would grant it. They all knew that and it's interesting how many didn't ask for their freedom. The reasoning was that on the plantation they had food and shelter. It was hard for a free black to find work.
