Robert Lee was prepared to defend the "Confederacy" and the continued process of "Enslavement in America".
Explanation:
- The "Fugitive Slave Act" was "enacted" as result of the "1850 Compromise", which had given "legal arms" to the "southern slave owners" for "capturing slaves" who had "fled" to "northern free states".
- The "legislation" in the North was widely "unpopular", and assisted in turning several formerly "hostile northerners" into "anti slavery enthusiasts".
- Lee was an "infamous confederate" "military leader" was a known "slave owner.
- He "inherited slaves" due to his "mothers property" and he also married into the "Curtis family" who were known plantation owners.
- Thus, Lee was ready to defend the "racial discrimination and enslavement" of "African Americans".
