[Testifying to Congress in 1866,] Lee forthrightly opposed allowing blacks to vote: "My own opinion is that, at this time, they [black Southerners] cannot vote intelligently, and that giving them the [vote] would lead to a great deal of demagogism, and lead to embarrassments in various ways."[font=-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont,][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee#cite_note-137][/font]

In an interview in May 1866, Lee said: "The Radical party are likely to do a great deal of harm, for we wish now for good feeling to grow up between North and South, and the President, Mr. Johnson, has been doing much to strengthen the feeling in favor of the Union among us. The relations between the Negroes and the whites were friendly formerly, and would remain so if legislation be not passed in favor of the blacks, in a way that will only do them harm."[
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
