Question

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?

Answer 1

I believe because war and anarchy are probably the "evils"

Answer 2

Anarchy and war of secession

Step-by-step explanation:

General Lee fought for the Confederates, was a supporter of slavery, and although he had made several strategies for winning the confederation during the war of secession, he wrote a letter to his son where he reveals that he does not believe that the secession is the form to solve all the problems of the southern states. In the letter, Lee also reveals that he is afraid and asks God to free them from two evils: anarchy and the war of secession.
