Description
Title
Great
Fight
Over
the
Nigger
in the
Rebel
Congress
--
Tragic
Result
.
Creator
Unknown
Date
1865-04-01
Description
Robert
E
.
Lee
and a
southern
planter
pull
apart
a
slave
into
two
pieces
.
Lee
states
, "
I
must
have the
Nigger
or
cave
in.
" The
southern
planter
states
, "Any how
you
can't
have
MY
Nigger.
" His
armies
were
so
depleted
by
1864
, that
General
Lee
advocated
the
conscription
of
blacks
into
military
service
. This was
thought
to be
fundamentally
against
the
ideals
of the
South
and
planters
severely
opposed
the
idea
causing
a
political
battle
in the
Confederate
congress
.
It
was not
until
1865
that
blacks
were
conscripted
, and
even
then they
did
not
see
any
action
in the
war
.
