LEE WROTE IT DOWN
LEE WROTE IT DOWN
__________________
TWO BASICS
1) Lee wrote it all down
2) Pryor adored Lee
The Lee family chose friend and historian Elizabeth Pryor to study, at length Lee's journals, letters, and papers.
These two trunks (see picture below) of Lee's handwritten papers had not been studied by scholars. Until now.
HISTORIAN ELIZABETH PRYOR
For seventy years scholars knew or heard about, those two trunks of Lee's papers.
Even those who, like Pryor, adored Lee
No doubt several thousand "Lee scholars" would have given their right arm to study those papers -- which included Lee's handwritten, very detailed, slave ledgers.
______________________________________________
WHAT WAS PRYOR'S BIG PROBLEM?
Pryor's big problem -- once she held Lee's slave ledgers and dirty letters in her hands -- was this:
How the hell was she going to tell anyone?
✔️Could or should Pryor bluntly reveal the slave auctions, whipping posts, bounty hunters in a candid way?
✔️Would the Lee family allow his slave ledgers, dirty letters, payment to bounty hunters -- etc-- to be made pubic? (No)
✔️Could or would Pryor bluntly reveal Lee's torture of slave girls for trying to escape?
✔️How -- if at all-- she would reveal that Lee bought other humans -- not escaped slavery -- but other human kidnapped in the North by criminals?
Lee's letter to wife - wow
Pryor -- in her public lecture about her book-- made a bit fun of those who use Lee's famous letter to his wife to claim Lee was against slavery.
Lee was very much for slavery -- and the profit, status and fun (see below) that went along with owning women.
When Lincoln said slave owners should be kicked to death-- and when he called slave owners "pleasure seekers" he did not name Lee. But he was right.
Lincoln said slave owners deserve to be kicked to death -- see the speech!-- he also explained that if he was born and lived where they did, he would not know what to do either.
But he did know that first we must stop those who were already killing, already invading, already at war to spread slavery.
Lincoln correctly noted that slavery always and only spread by violence. Always and only was maintained by violence.
Always by violence - meaning torture, bounty hunters, paid killer, trained dogs to find and injure slaves-- overseers (men whose job it was to inflict the most pain).
Lee was part of that violence.
Lee employed bounty hunters. Lee used trained dog, via his bounty hunters. Lee installed whipping posts. Lee screamed as slaves as he had them tortured.
Lee even sold children as punishment to the mother.
Lee owned white looking slaves girl -- as Pryour revealed.
Torture to slaves -- terrorizing slaves, buying women kidnaped in the North--helping Jeff Davis in Davis insane obsession to spread slavery to all of the USA.
Slave owners deserved to be kicked death showed how serious Lincoln was..
WE DO IT FOR GOD
Slave owners -- including Lee-- claimed they enslaved blacks for God. Gods will
"SPIRITUAL LIBERTY"
The letter itself blatantly defends the torture of slaves. Fools miss it because that part is not in the first paragraph.
Stunning how many teachers have been so stupid not to even read the entire letter!
Pryor does not make fun of that stupidity in her book--- just in the lecture. .
So teachers make their students dumber. That's not a plot, by the teachers, that's just the result of lazy teachers who don't read well or closely.
In that letter -- to his wife --Lee claims those against slavery "were on an evil course" wrote Lee.
He also wrote slaves "must endure painful discipline."
If that were not enough, Lee wrote in the same letter that slavery was "SPIRITUAL LIBERTY"
THE ONLY LEGAL RESPONSE
The only response to slavery -- Lee wrote-- was to pray.
You would know that already -- if you were taught what was going on then.
At the time, South had made it a crime to even speak -- to speak!--against slavery. It was a crime to preach against slavery.
The punishment to whites who where caught preaching against slavery could be arrested, tried, and punished by torture -- public torture.
Nearly everyone alive at the time knew that. But your teacher never hinted at it. Again -- not a plot-- just the result of lazy poorly educated teachers.
Back to the Lee letter -- Lee was writing about "the Presidents" message. Do you even know who was President -- or what the President's message was?
Hell no, and you probably can't find a high school teacher than knows why that is important.
Lee wrote that letter in response to President Pierce support of Jeff Davis's 2000 or so hired Texas men, men sent to Kansas to terrorize and kill Kansas Citizens.
95% of Kansas citizens were against slavery. Davis -- backed by President Pierce, not only sent his paid Texas men -- Davis sent US troops to protect his paid Texas men.
So to understand the letter to his wife, you would need to know all this.
Your teacher or text book would have to ALREADY show you Davis's boasting of invading and killing to spread slavery --and ALREADY show you President Pierce's open support for both the paid Texas men sent to terrorize and kill Kansas Citizens -- and President Peirce's approval for US troops to protect those paid killers.
That is what Lee was referring too -- is that the only response to slavery is to pray. You could not speak, or be openly against slavery.
Jeff Davis's 2000 paid Texas men arrived starting in May 1956
It's important to know -- Jeff Davis first sent paid men to invade Kansas in 1854.
Those 1854 men (led by US Senator David Rice Atchison) did not get the job done: many of them went home when Kansas citizens fought back.
Davis and Atchison told the men "Yankees" were cowards and would run away like cowards. It ended up the opposite. Davis's men, led by Atchison, ran away in the end.
There job was to terrorize and kill enough Kansas citizens to force Kansas to be a slave state.
Never mind that 95% of Kansas Citizens were anti -slavery. Davis justified violent spread of slavery, regardless of vote or wish of Kansas citizens.
Remember that %-- 95% Ninety five percent of Kansas Citizens were against slavery. And many of them fought back. Davis and Atchison got crowds of stupid chits to cheer -- Davis even hired paid Texas men -- and Davis sent US troops to protect the paid killers, with support of President Pierce.
Lee's letter to his wife -- was at this time! Lee wrote his support for slavery, support for Davis's paid killers, support for violent spread of slavery -- and support for US troops sent to protect the killers.
Now you know what Lee was writing about ---the violent spread of slavery -- and why only -- only prayer was a legit response to slavery. It was a law -- punishable by public torture -- to speak against slavery.
It was a crime -- punishable by law to resist the spread of slavery. Did your stupid teacher mention any of this?
No. Not a word. Again -it's not a plot. It's stupid teachers and text books. No one told them either.
Now you know. Thank me later.

HOW DID DAVIS AND LEE JUSTIFY
THE VIOLENT SPREAD OF SLAVERY?
THE VIOLENT SPREAD OF SLAVERY?
How did Davis justify the paid men, the invasions, the murders, the terror -- and then also justify sending US troops to help the Texas killers?
You should already know this -- it is profoundly important.
Nothing was more important.
Davis justified the invasions and killings by two things:
1) The bible.
2) The Dred Scott decision.
3) Remember, South leaders made it a crime to preach or speak openly against slavery
4) Remember, South leaders made it a crime to own anti slavery publications
5) Remember, Robert E Lee was in full support of all t his. He knew all about Davis's ongoing war - ongoing murders, ongoing invasions -- to spread slavery
You had no clue. That's not your fault.
Slap your teachers, even though this was not a plot -- it was stupid teachers repeating bullshit.
Even preachers could be and were tortured for preaching against slavery..
South lunatics created those laws since 1830s! The logic was this - GOD ordained slavery.
Slavery is a "BLESSING" -- a BLESSING --and to speak or preach against it was therefore a crime.
It was a crime to own a book or pamphlet again slavery -- all
Furthermore

IN HER LECTURE NOT LONG BEFORE HER DEATH.......
In a Virginia lecture not long before her death, Pryor announced that "the duty of a historian is to expose to ugly."
That Pryor would not do -- but given the adoration of a man who tortured small slaves and bought women (free women in the North) from kidnappers -- Pyror did as well as anyone could.
To be candid about the sadism, the tortures, the bounty hunters, etc, meant certainly that she would be hated -- likely scorned by the Lee family, scorned and the millions of people who stupidly (as it turns out) believed the 160 years of nonsense about Lee.

How would Pyor tell the world that Lee ordered his own soldiers shot -- (in battle!)- if they ran?
Who knew he ordered his OWN soldiers during battle?
The number was zero. No one knew.
No one taught that. No one hinted that.
But Lee did it -- and Lee wrote it down.
__________________________________
Lee wrote it down.
The Lee family should, of course, just publish Lee's slave ledgers, and publish Lee's orders to kill his own troops who ran during battle (as Stalin trick, too)
No doubt those who adore Lee anyway, will trash Pryor. That is human nature.

BUYING OTHERS?
Just one of over 88 amazing revelations Pryor made -- carefully yes -- is that Lee How would Pryor tell the world that Lee bought women, free women in the North who were never slaves, until Lee bought them from bounty hunters illegally.
The answer -- Pryor would tell us very carefully -- via euphemism or double speak.
Regarding Lee's white looking slave girls, Pryor danced around that too.
"Lee always wanted to be a Planter."
"Lee always wanted to be a planter" is a clever way to deceive others, as humans often seek to do. Pryor necessarily used such euphemism to fool, to give the wrong impression, to readers.
Planter is a term, as Pryor knew well, but made sure her readers did not. Planter meant the owner of a large plantation -- a large slave farm -
LEE HUMILIATED BY HIS CREEPY FATHER
Lee's famous father (Light Horse Harry Lee) lost the Plantation of Lee's youth, due to his criminal actions and fraud.
Pryor would eventually tell her readers, (see below) Lee seemed obsessed to gather the former "glory" and status of being a slave owner --of many slaves -- aka Planter.

_____________________________
Lee did not grow cotton.
His "cash crop" was human beings. From selling them, buying then, and breeding them to each other.
It was only the "Deep South" that grew cotton. Lee was a business.
But Lee, contrary to myth, bought more slaves. Lee controlled all his wife's slaves and his bought more
Lee also purchased humans from bounty hunters -- even from "kidnappers" who kidnapped free blacks in Washington DC or New York.
There was a thriving -- meaning profitable --business-- to kidnap free blacks, and sell those victims -- to Lee, and men like Lee.
Pryor cleverly tells us that Lee bought "others." She wrote, "Technically Lee may have broken the law."
Pryor quickly blames "the paperwork," specifically "time consuming paperwork.
Pryor knew better -- there was no paperwork, time consuming or otherwise -- to buy women who were kidnapped illegally.
Pryor had to make up a narrative somehow --a narrative to blame someone other thanLee. So she did.
Pryor refused to call them "slave ledgers." Yet those slave ledgers that is where she found the prices, dates, names the women and children he bought at slave auction.
She even knew and mentioned the name of the slave auction he used most.
____________________________________________________
We all heard it. We were all taught it. Lee "hated slavery" even wrote to his wife that slavery was "evil." (more about that letter, below)
Lee was beloved by his "servants." When he tried to free his wife's slaves, they refused to leave.
We heard that Lee prayed with black women -- when no one else would.
We heard Lee fought "for his state" and "for states rights."
We heard that Lee "only cared to bring young men to Christ."
_________________________________
Nothing was too goofy, too fake, too much a lie that folks would bother to check.
Turns out -- none, none -- of that bullshit was true. . None.
Nor did Lee himself claim those things. Nor did newspapers at the time say such things.
The goofy ass lies, the goofy ass exaggerations came after the South lost.
__________________________________
Lee's supposed "definitive" biographer, Douglas Southall Freeman "They loved him"most of all." the That is a lie and utter nonsense.
As Lee's slave ledgers showed -- Lee's slaves said he "was the worst man we ever saw."
