Robert E. Lee

Lee thought (correctly) that Grant was a drunk and an idiot. Lee was very highly thought of as a military man. The northern states would have vastly preferred him to Grant, but his loyalties lay with the south.

Yes, Longstreet and Lee worked together at Antietam, although Longstreet was subordinate to Lee. He commanded one of the two army corps of the Army of Northern Virginia present at the battle.

Major General Ambrose Burnside.

His plan had two goals: to relieve the pressure on the fronts in Virginia by drawing away Union troops, and to make the Northern public nervous enough to stop supporting the war.

General Joseph Johnston was a better defense minded general (as was the genius Longstreet) and thus better suited for that war. Unfortunately, Johnston was not liked by President Davis. However, he and Lee were admired greatly by their men. Both were excellent logisticians. Johnston was more of a believer in a defensive war, while Lee gets the nod on offensive strategy. While in command of the Confederate army in Virginia, Johnston was wounded at the Battle of Seven Pines in May 1862. Lee was promoted into Johnston's position of command while Johnston was in recovery, so we'll never really know. Johnston may very well have finished the war stronger than Lee.

twilight saga

yes, she is very conservative, but tries to stay under the radar because she knows fox news doesnt need any more republicans. but dont get me wrong republicans are correct for this country and jenna lee falls into that category.

General Robert E. Lee was a southern gentleman and would not condone, let alone authorize or participate in assasinations! To dispell a more widely held myth, Lee did not found, organize, or even belong to the organization known as the Ku Klux Klan. Some trace the Klan as an Underground movement as far back as the fall of Gettysburg- when the CSA knew the war was lost on a strategic scale. The Klan was founded by Nathan Bedford Forrest , another CSA general, but not Lee!

No, the Army of Northern Virginia. He was eventually defeated by the Army of the Potomac.

Under US Grant, the Army of the Potomac forced the surrender of Robert E. Lee. Lee's army was desolated by the heavy combat in Virginia. With no food or reinforcements, Lee had no choice. Grant handled this well with kindness.

Yes, Kate Middleton and General Robert E. Lee are 13th cousins 7 times removed through their common ancestors of Ralph de Neville and Margaret de Stafford.

After General Lee had beaten Union General Joseph Hooker at Chancellorsville, he had pushed Hooker back on his heels and was confident that a raid into the North was needed to take the initiative away from the North. He reorganized his army and in early June of 1863, he out maneuvered General Hooker by conducting a flank march to the west with two corps while the remaining corps maintained contact with the enemy. General Hooker was not aware until June 9th of Lee's movement and was undecided as to what it meant. With Lee's third and remaining corps now following, Lee's army stretched over 100 miles by mid-June, marching as many as 30 miles on some days with his whole army averaging 15 miles per day. Lee took advantage of the Blue Ridge Mountains for protection from a Union flank attack.. Yet, at the same time, Lee could always threaten an attack east through the mountain passes. He had in fact stolen the march and was on the flank of Hooker's army.

As a young man, it was dark brown. As he aged, it turned light gray.

False.

Let Freedom Ring

Lee was brilliant at the aggressive elastic defence. He was good at reading the opposing general's intentions, and countering with audacious moves, especially when Jackson was alive to carry out Lee's orders. He was less good on the strategic offensive, where his logistical failings let him down, and his emotions overrode his reason, at least as far as Pickett's Charge was concerned.

Before Lee was appointed General-in-Chief in January 1865, there was no such post.

The Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, had hoped to be given the job at the outbreak of war, and did not like being 'kicked upstairs' to the presidency. For most of the war, he tried to do the job himself, and failed badly.

Most of Lee's battles were fought in Virginia, but Antietam was in Maryland, and Gettysburg was in Pennsylvania.

Affectionate and respectful to the end of Lee's life.

It was other Confederates who blamed Longstreet for the defeat at Gettysburg, not Lee himself.
