At the beginning of the war, Robert E. Lee.
He said he would have to wait and see whether his home-state of Virginia voted Confederate. When it did, he joined the Confederates.
After the loss at the Battle of Chattanooga, Jefferson Davis replaced Bragg with General Joseph Johnston. Johnston's troops would be asked to defend the march of Union General William T. Sherman to Georgia.
The most commonly referred to Battle of Savannah refers to the one in the US Civil War. There, as Union General William T. Sherman was marching to Savannah to meet with US Navy ships in the city's port, the Confederate army had evacuated Savannah. The mayor of the city asked Sherman to allow it to surrender rather than having the Union army destroy the city. Sherman accepted the surrender.
No. He had resigned from his army commission by 1952. Truman asked him to step down as General of the Army. This is well before Vietnam.
The question as asked appears nonsensical. The Civil War was fought to save the Union. The South seceded over states rights and property, which was a euphemism for Slavery. Women's rights played no part in the Civil War. Women's Rights came into play only after the Civil War ended.
General Robert E. Lee. He was asked by President Abraham Lincoln if he would command the Union forces but he declined, with much difficulty, saying that he could not fight against his state, Virgina. While Robert E. Lee was still a colonel in the US Army, it's clear he was offered a commanding position in the Union army, however, the actual US general making this offer was probably Winfield Scott. Nevertheless, President Lincoln would have approved of this. Also, Lee's position in the Confederate army at first was a minor commission. Later he would advance and become the leading, most highly regarded Confederate general.
You probably mean Lee. He was asked to lead the Union armies, but decided to stay with his home state of Virginia.
Whether Robert E. Lee liked the Civil War or not is based on his personal opinion. However, I imagine he didn't like the civil war because when Abraham Lincoln asked him to be General of the Union army, he declined and replied that he wanted to see if his home state, Virginia, would separate from the United States and join the Confederation. So basically, if Virginia was to remain in the union, I imagine Robert E. Lee would have been the Major General of the Union Army instead of George Meade.
Because he considered himself a Virginian first and an American second.
After the loss at the Battle of Chattanooga, Jefferson Davis replaced Bragg with General Joseph Johnston. Johnston's troops would be asked to defend the march of Union General William T. Sherman to Georgia.
Robert E Lee was a amazing general for the Confederate army. Most people dont know this but he was asked by President Lincoln to be a General for the union. Lee said no to Lincolns offer because he was so loyal to his home land in Virginia.
William T. Sherman could have asked to be appointed as a general when the US Civil War began. Instead he asked for and received the rank of colonel. He stated that he wanted to work his way up the chain of command based on merit. He eventually became a major and key figure in the US Civil War.
The most commonly referred to Battle of Savannah refers to the one in the US Civil War. There, as Union General William T.

Robert E. Lee was offered command of the Union Armies by President Lincoln. He turned it down because he felt he was a Virginian first and could not fight against is State.
Robert E. Lee He disapproved of secession, and asked the General-in-Chief of the Union Armies whether he could stay neutral - to which he got a scathing reply. ("We don't want any fence-sitters!") When Virginia seceded, he declared that he could not draw his sword against his beloved home-state, and resigned from the US Army to join the Confederates.
No. He had resigned from his army commission by 1952. Truman asked him to step down as General of the Army. This is well before Vietnam.

No, because during the Civil War there were other battles and wars like the Battle of Antietam. Many asked this question and the answer when they ask other people might be well "I cant believe that you asked me that and well its yes cause that's the only thing they talked about the seceding and confederacy and the Union.
