Myth: all confederate generals were slave owners and succesionists.

Fact: general Longstreet was a republican. And general Lee only joined the confederate army cause Virginia succeeded.

We never learned that myth. It’s pretty common knowledge Robert e Lee didn’t support slavery although the confederacy as a whole did

@Insomniac100 it's more of a Longstreet fact. He was against slavery but like Lee couldn't fight against his home state
