Yeah rr and shadow. I understand the points you are making. I can understand how those things can happen. While on topic though, I thought it was Grant's wife that owned a slave or 2. I do respect Jackson for never having a slave. Why is it that if Lee felt slavery was immoral as he preached, he had slaves. This I don't understand, him being sort of morally superior in many minds. I agree too that blacks in the North didnt have it great. Unlike slaves, they were not guaranteed food or a roof over their heads. At the time, slaves may have even been a necessity. Its not the point Im trying to argue though. I was just curious about the whole Lee paradox. Thanks
