He was appointed commander of the Army of Northern Virginia in summer 1862, after Joseph E. Johnston was seriously wounded and hospitalised.
He continued to command that army until April 1865, when he surrendered to Ulysses Grant at Appomattox.
He was also appointed to the new post of General-in-Chief of the Confederates in January 1865, a job which he thoroughly merited, but it was too late to make any difference.

The leadership of the Roman army had to be pretty good or else the Romans would not have been able to win so many wars and conquer so many territories. Over the years, of course, there were inept leaders who got their command by political appointment rather than by military knowledge, but on the whole, the senate and later the emperors, appointed able, knowledgeable men to command their armies.
There are three ranks within the pay grade of E9 - Sergeant Major, Command Sergeant Major, and Sergeant Major of the Army. There is only one Sergeant Major of the Army.
Robert E. Lee was not in favor of session, but offered his official resignation from the Union army.soon after Virginia seceded to join the Confederacy. Many sources say Lincoln offered him command of the Federal army in April of 1861. Other sources say he was offered the command of a Union army. Either way he was loyal to his home State of Virginia. He began as a major general with the Confederacy. Lee and George B. McClellan both served under General Winfield Scott as engineer officers in the Mexican War. Scott certainly thought Lee was the best man to command the Federal armies. Scott had rated him as the best and bravest officer in the Mexican War.
