罗伯特·李将军在许多人眼里一直身负多重美名：他聪慧过人，他战术高超，他反对蓄
奴，他为了自己的故乡而战，他促进南北复合，他是南方荣耀的象征……
然而这不过是后人的发明，其目的是抹灭奴隶制作为内战起因的核心地位，以及塑造高

从未停止，直到今日仍有人相信李将军那杜撰的光辉形象。
李大奴隶主
李将军的岳父卡斯提斯在1857年去世，留下了莫大的家产、几百名奴隶和巨额债务。最
要命的是，遗嘱中表示希望将这些奴隶在五年内解放。
正在从军的李将军不得不请假回家接手这一烂摊子。巨额债务怎么还呢？让黑奴接着卖
命吧，反正遗嘱给的期限是五年。然而卡斯提斯生前拥有的黑奴却都以为卡斯提斯会在
死后立刻解放自己，因此十分不满。
