In June of 1863, General Robert E. Lee's objective was the capital of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg. He would occupy the city. As part of this massive military operation, Lee planned on destroying the railroad bridge crossing the Susquehanna River, cutting off the rail connection between Washington DC and parts westward.On the evening of June 28, 1863, Lee understood that the Army of the Potomac had crossed the Potomac River. This forced Lee abandon his drive on Harrisburg and prepare to meet the threat on the Union's army.

The Custis Plantation, which actually belonged to Mrs. Lee, became Arlington Cemetary.

He was the leader of the Confederate troops during that war.

Lee called slavery "An unmixed evil", did not believe in it. Duty, and honor to one's self and country were his major beliefs.

Lee's stroke had resulted in aphasia, rendering him unable to speak. It is felt Douglas Southall Freeman embellished Lee's final moments, to add romance to his dying moments. The family and four attending physicians stated his last words had been on28 September 1870, he died on October 12, 1870 and that he had no recorded last words.

In December of 1862 the Army of the Potomac has a new leader, Major General Ambrose Burnside. At Fredericksburg, Virginia he order massive frontal assaults on heavily fortified Rebel positions on Marye's Heights, over looking Fredericksburg. One source has it that via telegraph President Lincoln is following the the military operations and orders Burnside to make a frontal attack. At least 12 waves of Federals assault the entrenched positions. They take fire from Confederates behind a high wall and also from artillery on the heights overlooking the battlefield.It's a Union disaster and General Robert E. Lee is on the heights observing the slaughter. There is where he makes his famous quote of : "It's well that war is so terrible otherwise we should become too fond of it".

Well, when Cornwallis surrendered, it had been just a battle that he lost. But when Robert E. Lee surrendered it was the whole reason to why the confederates lost the Civil War.

The prospect of having take up arms against his own state of Virginia. That's why he turned down the job of General-in-Chief of the Union army, and joined the Confederates.

Cold Harbor, Virginia. Grant threw several frontal assaults at Lee's well entrenched forces, and was thrown back with great slaughter.

General Robert E. Lee had several goals when he decided to raid Union territory and attack the capital of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg. With that said, it's clear that Lee's main objective was to attack the North's will to continue the war by decisively defeating the Union on its own territory. In 1863 and in the years before and after Gettysburg, the Northern Army of the Potomac was a key force for the Union. Although Lee had defeated this army several times and when it was commanded by at least four Union generals, this army continued to be a strong fighting force by replacing soldiers who had become casualties. In the upcoming battle, which did occur unexpectedly at Gettysburg, Lee's plan was to not only to defeat the Army of the Potomac, but to utterly destroy it. Lee's method for doing so was what is tactically referred to as defeating an enemy army in detail. "In detail" is the military tactic of bringing a concentrated and large force against a portion of the enemy's army, destroying it, and then repeating this tactic against any and all of the remaining elements that still existed.For the most part, battles in the US Civil War were won or lost, however, the losing army was able to escape to only reorganize and live to fight another day.

Lee was the top Confederate general. Grant eventually became the top Union general.

John Bell Hood

There is no record of Robert E Lee ever saying anything about Hood being too much or all lion and too little or no fox. This is a myth. Hood being called too much the fox and too little the lion was first written in a post-Civil War poem and has been wrongly attributed to Lee.

Lee Carter is 52 years old (birthdate: October 27, 1958).

General Lee wrote three sets of orders to be sent to the specific Generals concerned with the phase of the Maryland Campaign that he had planned. One set of orders went to James Longstreet, one to Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson and the third set of orders were sent to D.H. Hill.

Longstreet received his orders, memorized it then ate it.

Jackson received his orders and, seeing that it concern D.H. Hill directly and not knowing orders had already been written out for Hill, he personally copied his orders and sent them to Hill.

D.H. Hill received Jackson's handwritten orders, read it and then put it away for safe keeping. He never received order from Lee's HQ.

The orders from Lee's HQ intended for D.H. Hill vanished from the Confederate radar and were found by a Unionist wrapped up with some cigarettes and, recognizing the importance of what had been found, he sent the orders straight to McClellan.

D.H. Hill was made the scapegoat for the "lost orders" incident.
