Read the passage from Robert E. Lee’s “Letter to His Son.”

May God avert both of these evils from us! I fear that mankind will not for years be sufficiently Christianized to bear the absence of restraint and force.

To what two evils does Lee refer?

slavery and servitude

secession and rebellion

anarchy and civil war

Respuesta :

I do believe the answer to be C. because war and anarchy are probably the "evils" he is talking about.

Answer: anarchy and civil war

In "Letter to His Son," Robert E. Lee summarizes how he truly feels about the Confederation. In this text, we discover that Lee was ambivalent about the situation in the South. He believed the South had been aggrieved by the acts of the North, but did not think secession was the solution to the problem. He also states that he was extremely worried about the state of the nation, and his greatest fear was that it should fall into one of two evils: anarchy and civil war.
