Robert E. Lee

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.

No, but he was Superintendent of West Point

Lee did not accept command of the Federal forces because he felt he owed his allegiance to his state, Virginia, rather than to the whole country. He probably did expect Scott to offer him the post.

Robert E. Lee

Actually she is not married, but she has a partner, Kashabian's guitarrist Jay Mehler.

Robert E. Lee mourned the death of Union General Philip Kearny because he respected Kearny as a skilled and courageous military leader. Despite being on opposing sides, Lee recognized Kearny's bravery and dedication to his men, which he valued in any general. Kearny's death at the Battle of Chantilly was seen as a loss for the Union army, and Lee's acknowledgment of this reflects his sense of honor and respect for worthy adversaries.

Abraham Lincoln's legacy includes the preservation of the Union and the abolition of slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment, shaping the nation's civil rights trajectory. Robert E. Lee, as a Confederate general, became a symbol of the Southern cause and its complexities, influencing discussions about heritage and reconciliation post-Civil War. Frederick Douglass, a former enslaved person and prominent abolitionist, championed equality and civil rights, using his eloquent advocacy to inspire movements for justice and social reform. Together, their lives and legacies continue to spark dialogue on freedom, race, and the pursuit of equality in America.

Many historians argue that Robert E. Lee's decisions during the Battle of Gettysburg contributed to the Confederate defeat and ultimately his own downfall. His choice to engage in the battle despite the Union's advantageous position, particularly during Pickett's Charge, is often criticized for being overly aggressive and poorly coordinated. This loss not only diminished Confederate morale but also shifted the momentum of the Civil War in favor of the Union. Thus, while Lee's leadership was significant, his strategies at Gettysburg are seen as pivotal in sealing the fate of the Confederacy.

I don't think he was wounded in any of the Civil War battles.

When he declared "I have lost my right arm", he was of course speaking figuratively. (It was in response to the news that Stonewall Jackson had lost his left arm at Chancellorsville.)

However, his health did start to decline from about this point. It was diagnosed as rheumatism, but was in fact heart disease. After the war, people were shocked to see how ill he looked.

Actually, "Marse" (Not Marsh) Robert, Marse being slang for "Master".

A General for the confederates, fought many battles. One of his main plans towards the end of the civil war was to wait for a new president to come into office to make peace with. Fought Peninsular Campaign, 2nd battle of Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville (with Jackson), and Gettysburg.

Yes, Robert E. Lee was present at the First Battle of Manassas, also known as the First Battle of Bull Run, which took place on July 21, 1861. Although he was not in command during this battle, he served as a senior military advisor to Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston. Lee's involvement marked one of his early participations in the Civil War, and he played a role in coordinating Confederate forces during the engagement.

In 1999, the principal of Robert E. Lamberton School was Dr. William R. H. Bock. He played a significant role in the administration and development of the school during that time. If you need more specific details about his tenure or achievements, please let me know!
