Several reasons caused General Robert E. Lee to decide to surrender his Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Courthouse. The question asks for three reasons, the answer adds a few more reasons than three.
A. Strategically, his army was surrounded by the forces led by US General Grant. With no escape route he was forced to surrender;
B. Although Lee had won battles with fewer troops than the Union, in the situation facing him, he estimated that he was outnumbered by an overwhelming ratio of 5 to 1;

D. Lee's forces were nearly out of rations; and

Why was Robert E. Lee not called Robert Edward Lee?
Many people in Lee's time, as well as the people who live in this time now, don't usually use their middle names in the way of presenting themselves to others or in conversation.
It seems much easier for most people to use the initial of their middle name.
I'll try to give you an example, Union General, Ulysses Simpson Grant, never used his full middle name either. He was and will always be known as Ulysses S. Grant.

How does Robert Mugabe affect history?
Mugabe will be remembered for fighting white colonialism during the 1960s to the late 1970s, when he was imprisoned in Rhodesian jails for fighting for justice for the black majority. However, he will also be remembered for failing to transform a promising country into a successful democracy from 1980 onwards. History will put him in the same group with other notorious African dictators such as Mobutu Sese Seko and Hastings Kamuzu Banda, to name but a few. Mugabe will also affect history in terms of highligthing the challenges of many poor countries in a neoliberal global environment where most money is used for speculative purposes rather than for tangible infrastructural developments. The failure of IMF and World Bank SAPs is closely linked to the rise of desperate populist politics such as the chaotic land reforms, mines' nationalisation and the attempt to control foreign currency externalisation by most export oriented business operating in poor cxountries but with HQs in the developed world. Mugabe will also affect history by forcing intellectuals to re-examining the viability of the urbane democractic ethos in rural underdeveloped regions of the world where poverty, low literacy and poor communications make rigging of the ballot a lot easier for the ruling party that has access to state institutions such as the army, police, and the conservative traditional leadership institutions.
During the Peninsula campaign, Union General George B. McClellan learned that Robert E. Lee had replaced the wounded Confederate General Joseph Johnston. In his memoirs, McClellan wrote that he was glad at the prospect of engaging Lee. McClellan wrote that Lee was too cautious and weak. And, that Lee lacked the moral fiber to use firmness in battlefield actions.
What military leader was from Virginia?
When speaking about US Civil War leaders from Virginia, a good case can be made for Robert E. Lee. He was so much loved by Southerners, his birthday was a holiday in the South after the US Civil War.
When Union Major General George B. McClellan finally decided to cross the Potomac River, his plans were to take over railways and cut off General Lee's lines of communications from Richmond.In anticipation of this plan, Lee divided his forces. He moved General Longstreet's forces to Culpeper,
Virginia and Stonewall Jackson's forces were left in the Shenandoah Valley. There Jackson could keep McClellan in check or even threaten McClellan's own lines of communications.
