A couple of years ago, I vowed to never set foot in New Orleans for the rest of my life. It was after the statue of General Robert E Lee was removed from Lee Circle in New Orleans.
Robert E Lee owned a plantation in Virginia, but never bought, sold, or owned a slave in his life.
And... When he inheirited a large plantation and it came to him with hundreds of slaves he immediately freed the slaves.
