Early in the Civil War, Robert E. Lee was called the "King of Spades."
Yes he was called the "King of Spades" early in the Civil War -- not the Ace of Spades. He was called this because he liked to dig in trenches. If you're interested on this subject (or other subjects in the Civil War), I suggest you read the book Killer Angels by Michael Shaara and/or the Civil War book series by Joseph A. Altsheler (i.e. The Rock of Chickamauga, The Tree of Appomattox, etc.).
