Best Answer

Confederates.

Lincoln had offered him the job of General-in-Chief of all the Union armies. He said he would only accept it if Virginia voted to stay loyal to the Union - which he hoped it would.

But Virginia voted Confederate, and Lee went with his state. He felt he was a Virginian first and an American second.
