"Robert Edward Lee (January 19, 1807 - October 12, 1870) was a career army officer and the most successful general of the Confederate forces during the American Civil War. He eventually commanded all Confederate armies as general-in-chief. His victories against numerically superior forces won him enduring fame as an astute military commander. After the war, he urged reconciliation, and spent his final years as president of the college that would come to bear his name. Lee remains an iconic figure of the Confederacy to this day. ..." |
