Your lies were not only outrageous they were also despicable in that you claimed RE Lee mistreated his slaves.. As a matter of fact Lee freed his slaves or actually his wifes slaves. One of the slaves who stayed on not as a slave but as a worker spoke the most high praise of Lee. In fact I think he said that Lee was the best man he had ever known.

donmeaker is sick individual and needs help. He is an embarrassment to the Free Republic Lincoln Coven who I think cringe at his psychotic rantings and view him as a “crazy uncle”.

He had to free his father in law’s slaves.

He went to court three times in an attempt to overturn the provisions of his father in law’s will requiring him to free the slaves.

The first thing he did when he arrived on leave from the Army as executor of his father in law’s estate was to put up whipping posts. (Ok, he probably spent some time in the bathroom first).

Lee was known as a cruel master in the press before the war started. Many of the Lee family slaves were white, some decended from Lee family men, others kidnapped and detained with false papers. Lee paid more for the ‘recovery’ of young girls than for young men. He is recorded as being most enthusiastic about the whipping of young slave girls.
