“H.W. Crocker, Scott’s “expert” on Lee, swoons over the Confederate general with very little regard for the facts. Lee “managed” nearly 200 slaves, owned a few, and arranged for the severe beating of more than one who sought freedom. Slavery was wrong, plain and simple, and no “great man” emerges in its wake. I’m a native Virginian, distantly related to Lee, with a slave legacy of my own. I can say with confidence that Crocker is a fool.”
