What role did Robert E Lee play in the coastal defenses of the South?

∙ 9y ago
In November of 1861 Lee was placed in charge of a new military department covering South Carolina, Georgia, and the Atlantic side of Florida. He realized that Confederate coastal fortifications could not withstand Union naval bombardments. He evacuated many of them, except those defending major cities. He built new fortifications inland and out of the reach of Union ship cannons. He had certain waterways blocked as best as possible and concentrated forces inland with the ability to be shifted to threatened areas.
As an aside, Lee's strategy has been compared with German western front defenses during World War II.
