No he didn't. Like the best Southerners he had always considered the slavery as an evil, and favoured the gradual emancipation of the blacks. After the war broke out he set free the half dozen slaves of whom he was the owner.

He fought to defend his State, Virginia and the Independence of the South against that he called the "The Aggression of the North".
