What did Robert E. Lee dad invest in?
The main investment which bankrupted "Light Horse Harry" Lee was a scheme to develop a canal and land at the Falls of the Potomac. Canal building was all the rage at the time, just a railroad building would become in a generation or two. Lee was just slightly ahead of his time, because by the time he was about to go under, the new national capital was established in the new "Federal District of Columbia" just across the River from the tract he was trying to develop. Its worth billions today.

Yes - and possibly the French as well.

Why Robert E. Lee was so effective as a military general?
He had qualities that were seen as strongly Confederate - a noble bearing, a willingness to take big risks, and a bold, thrusting style of attack that appealed to the rank-and-file.
These bold thrusts, however, were mainly carried out by T.J. ("Stonewall" ) Jackson, who was very much the other half of the Lee phenomenon. Also, in his first year as an Army commander, Lee was facing Union generals who did not measure up to his calibre.
When Stonewall was killed at Chancellorsville (May 1863), Lee declared that he had 'lost his right arm', and the Army of Northern Virginia was never quite so effective after that. And when he was targeted by Ulysses Grant, from May 1864, Lee had met his match at last.

2nd Answer:
Lee was perhaps a traitor? Could have been a spy? Not that much different.
I do believe that the Rebels could have won the American Civil War, but mistakes were made. And if not mistakes, then things done or left undone were done on purpose. Why the Rebel Army did not take Washington (the Capital) after routing the Union Army at Bull Run (Manassas) is questionable. Why did General Robert E. Lee, not listen to General Longstreet's, and other general's, advice at Gettysburg and take the high ground there at Big and Little Round Tops? After this was not done, why didn't Lee take Longstreet's solid advice to redeploy the Rebel Army to a different location, on a ground of their own choosing, where they had the advantage again? Lee took that advice as a sign of retreat, and Lee never retreated. Lee wanted Gettysburg to be the FINAL BATTLE. Lee was against the dissolution of the Union, and Slavery, but chose to lead the Rebel Army because he felt his loyalties lay with his home state of Virginia. Lee was willing to sacrafice everything "but honor" to keep the Union intact, he said.
Was Lee a traitor to the Confederate Nation? Perhaps. Confederate General Pickett, after losing his entire Division at Gettysburg, later said about General Robert E. Lee, "That old man had my Division massacred". Union General George McClellan once said the Union General William T. Sherman was "gone in the head". Was Lee "gone in the head"? Did he perhaps think he was Jesus Christ? Rebel foot soldier, and high private, Sam Watkins, wrote in his memoirs that he once grabbed the reins of Lee's horse, which was loose. Upon taking the horse back to Lee, Lee said to Watkins, "Thank you my son". Watkins wrote also that he wanted to go up to Lee, about that same time, and say, "Hi Uncle Bob!", and wasn't sure later if he hadn't done just that. Watkins wrote that General Lee had no sword or gun on him, and no rank insignia.
What state in the north did Robert E. Lee invade?
First, Maryland (Battle of Antietam).
Next, Pennsylvania. (Battle of Gettysburg). After losing this battle, Lee would shake his fist at the sky, declaring that even the skies were against him in Pennsylvania.
