Well technically Lee would have freed the slaves he said so about 2.5 weeks after Lincoln died. Lincoln on the other hand stated “In two weeks all Africans will be sent back to Africa” one week later he died. The founding fathers would have never agreed with the union

Answer:

The founding fathers sought to form a perpetual union of states.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both Lee and Lincoln were great and important leaders during the civil war, although on opposite sides he showed gealty and dexterity in fighting for what they believed was right.

Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg highlighted the importance and desire for a perpetual union of states. Lee demonstrated the same desire, but in a more intimate and personal way in "Letter to His Son".
