I'm sure someone will chime in that Abe Lincoln had slaves, but ultimately truth be known that Abe transformed and ultimately played a key role in freeing slaves.  I don't recall Jackson or Lee freeing any slaves.  Perhaps, losing battles and being killed by the Union Army cut their time short.

Abe Lincoln did not own slaves.  Where in the world did you get that idea?

Lee didn't own slaves during the war, Unlike Union General U.S. Grant where ot took a constitutional amendment before he freed his slaves

Ulysses Grant owned one slave, that he freed before the war, in spite of the fact that Grant was in poverty and a slave dealer told him the guy was worth $1,000.  Grant freed him anyway.
