Robert E. Lee on Slavery


Odd story about this quote. It comes from a page from a book. I found this page on the ground while walking home from the library one day. It has been in the elements for some time; ran over, stepped on, wet then dry. It is now hanging on my wall.

I can't really read it.

But Im well aware of a partial letter Lee wrote to his wife, apparently explaining his harsh treatment of slaves, where he essentially tells her slavery is ordained of God, and while we can pray for slavery to end, pain is "necessary for their instruction" and that God (Merciful Providence) "intends and knows" that slaves "must endure painful discipline".

The letter can be read to SEEM to mean Lee was against slavery, but a close reading of it, without wishful thinking, its actually a very strong defense, written carefully, in defense not only of slavery itself but the pain involved Lee even says slavery is a political evil or moral evil -- and that's supposed to mean he is anti slavery. Read the next sentence -- it's an evil for WHITES, whites are the ones that suffer, blacks are "immeasurably better off".

WHen you tie his letter together with the facts in his slave ledgers -- that he often had slaves whipped, and personally ordered the whippings, and even screamed at slave girls during their torture, according to newspaper reports from before the Civil War, you get a much different image in your head.

WHat actually went on in the slave barns>? Thanks to his slave ledgers, we know pretty much.

If you click the image, it should be easier to read. If not, I can clean it up a bit.

YOu must be kidding.

So you quote Lee to prove Lee was happy slavery ended.

Lee wrote that slaves were immeasurably better off as his slaves than in Africa.

And dumb fucks like you believed it. It sounded good to you right?

Trouble is, you are too fucking stupid to know that facts -- like this fact, from his slave ledgers.

Lee paid bounty hunters fro women and children they found in the NORTH -- free blacks, who were never slaves.

NOW dumb ass, hows that excuse about AFrica? Do you realize, or not, dumb fuck, it was always an excuse.

Lee didn't give a shit whether his slave girls were born in Africa or Pittsburg. He cared about their tits, their ass, how hard he could fuck em, how much he could get to sell em.

And yes, he sold slave girls.

Learn about his slave ledgers.

Uh -- here is a clue, why not show what the fucker said before, while he had slave girls whipped?

Why not show what his bounty payments were to hunters who caught free women and children in the North, and turned them into slaves.

Im so fucking sick of you fucktards who are so fucking stupid -- why not pick something Hilter said about his fondness of pets?

Try to grasp this you fucking idiots, its what Lee DID, and what other fuckers DID that matters.

And if you are going to quote the fuckers, quote them fully, not the shit they make up themselves to sound great.
