Robert E. Lee would be appointed the General in Chief of all Confederate armies in February of 1865. Prior to that he was only the general commanding the Army of Northern Virginia and President Jefferson Davis was commander in chief and therefore the head of the armies. Lee would only be answerable to him in his new position.
