Robert E. Lee, Southern Hero?

Click here for an article dated April 14, 1866, in the National Anti-Slavery Standard by Wesley Norris:
My name is Wesley Norris; I was born a slave on the plantation of George Parke Custis; after the death of Mr. Custis, Gen. Lee, who had been made executor of the estate, assumed control of the slaves, in number about seventy.
Warning: It's not pretty.
