Unlike Lincoln --Lee NEVER said anything against the african slaves--and Lee opposed slavery.

Lee was, at best, mildly opposed to slavery. Let's not make him out to be something he wasn't.

Time the damyankees pardon a Great leader dont you think?

You're a bit late. Lee was included in Andrew Johnson's Christmas pardon in 1868.

Well I agree with you-- I have heard that Lee inherited
slaves -but set them free(do not know -wasn't there) And
indeed Lee was included in the Pardon of 68 --but some like
that onion head who claims Lee was a traitor need be
reminded these were all Americans. And wasn't Lee related
to George Washington?Wasn't he from a respected family?
Was he not a Christian? I do not idolize him --but I
certainly give him credit -where credit is due.
