General Robert E. Lee resigned from commanding Union forces due to his loyalty to the South. Despite being offered command of the Union Army by President Abraham Lincoln, Lee chose to side with his home state of Virginia when it seceded from the Union. His decision was rooted in his strong sense of duty and allegiance to his state, leading him to become the commanding general of the Confederate Army.

Who resigned form commanding Union forces due to his loyalty to the South?

You probably mean Robert E. Lee. He was a regular US officer, whom Lincoln wanted to appoint as an army commander and likely future General-in-Chief. Lee said he would have to wait to see whether his home-state of Virginia voted Confederate - which he hoped it wouldn't, as he disapproved of secession. However, the vote went that way, and Lee resigned to join the Confederates.
