Re: Robert E Lee on slavery
It is good you used the word "questionable" in connection with Wesley Norris and his story. Though his story was published, after the war, and though it is often repeated to prove Lee actually had someone whipped, it really does not.
Norris made an accusation or an allegation that Lee had him and two others whipped. However, this is not proof that Lee was ever involved in a whipping.
I hope that the readers will keep that in mind when they read the Norris story.
Thanks,
REL
