Robert E. Lee

No, he wasn't. When the South seceded, Lee had a hard time deciding whether to stay loyal with the South, or fight against it. Finally, he resigned, and joined the south.

Actually, Lincoln asked Lee to be the commander of the Union army.

Lee once said of Jackson, " It never was that we had to go into great detail on his part in a coming battle, as straight as an arrow to the pole he goes about his business, and has never failed me." Lee and Jackson had the utmost confidence in each other, Jackson called Lee "a phenomenon". Lee used Jackson as his "hammer", and the stalwart Longstreet as the "anvil."

Gettysburg

Good question.

Only a few days after being appointed Army Commander, Meade defeated Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg, though he was criticised by Lincoln for not pursuing Lee's army while it was in a vulnerable state.

As for the final surrender at Appomattox, some people feel that Lee should have surrendered to Meade, as one army commander to another. But Lee had also become General-in-Chief of all the Confederate armies, and so he surrendered to Grant, who was his opposite number in the top job (although for some reason, Lee did not surrender all of these armies, only the one he directly commanded in the field.)

In the Overland campaign, Grant had been travelling alongside Meade's army in a mobile headquarters, somewhat to the embarassment of Meade.

In the show, it is never stated what engine the General has but here are some facts so you can make up your own mind. The best look you get at "the" engine in the General Lee is in the episode "Happy Birthday General Lee". In this episode you see a big block Mopar engine on an engine stand but it's not a detailed enough shot to tell if it is a B or RB block. So in theory, that engine could be any Chrysler big block, including the 350 (YES! Chrysler did build a 350), 361, 383, 400, 413, 426 (wedge not Hemi) or 440. In reality, the only B and RB engines found naturally in a '69 Charger were the 383, 440 and Hemi. So you can safely narrow that engine on the stand down to a 383 or 440. A little more reality rears its ugly head and we find out that the engine on the stand was a seized motor that they painted up for that shot and was not actually put into a General. So what engine did "the" General have in it? The close-up car, the car you were "supposed" to see when the hood was up (although you see the hood opened on many non-close-up cars with various engines), has a 383 in it. Of the surviving cars, the vast majority have 383s but a couple have 318s and 440s. So again, if you have to pick a "the" engine, I'd go with the 383 in the close-up car.

On the cars that went up on 2 wheels it had a 315 because it was lite. The close up cars had a 318 and the cars they did the jumps with had the 440 because the stunt men like the power.

I always figured it was the 426 hemi or 440.

ANSWER

The general J.E.B. (Jeb) Stuart.

General R.E. Lee entrusted him to gather information about the deployment of the Potomac Army's right wing standing north of Chikahominy river.

In details the goals of the mission were:

If that wing was "vulnerable" or not;

If it was "anchored" at any natural obstacle or not;

If an encircling attack against it would have been possible without the attacking force could have in turn attacked on the flank.

Stuart selected 1200 men and two pieces of horse artillery out of his cavalry brigade, left the Confederate Army at 2 a.m. of 12th of June 1862 and performed successfully his task about 36 hour later. As the way back had already been closed by the alarmed Federal cavalry he was but only halfway of his mission. So he decided to go straight to Southeast instead Northwest. By so doing he went round the whole Potomac Army managing to reach the Confederate Army at down of 15 June, reporting the valuable intelligence badly needed by general Lee.

I think it was what his slaves called him: 'Marse Robert'.

No . He went home.

After the Battle of Chancellorsville, General Lee finally did begin to make offensive plans from his position of defense. Looking back, one can see that these offensive plans were long foreseen by military theorists Henri Jomini and Carl Von Clausewitz, although they, of course were not spectators of the US Civil War.In both their writings, these theorists declared that a defense, even after a tactical victory, could not remain passive. Both theorists believed that after a successful defensive victory was achieved, offensive maneuvers were needed lest the beaten enemy revise its plans to attack once more.

This is a summary of their ideas. Lee and President Davis did not, however, consult with past warfare ideas. The idea to strike a telling blow against the North was at that time logical but risky. The Battle of Gettysburg was not faraway in June of 1863.

He is supposed to have started to hallucinate that he was giving orders to Ambrose.P.Hill. If true, this would be an uncanny coincidence, as this was exactly what Stonewall Jackson is known to have been saying (in hallucination) as he lay dying.

The story is, perhaps, too good to be true. His doctors claimed that he was incapable of speech in the last few days of his life.

According to witnesses, Lee's last words were "Strike the tent".

Arlington belonged to Lee's wife's family, the Custisises, the same family Martha Washington came from.

Robert E. Lee was a Confederate general in the time of the American Civil War. His legacy is derived mainly from his performance as commander of the Army of Northern Virginia from 1862 - 1865.

Lee was the son of a Revolutionary War hero, Henry "Lighthorse" Lee, and attended West Point (Class of 1829), where he distinguished himself by not receiving a single demerit in four years. After graduating, he served as an army engineer.

Lee's first taste of combat came in the Mexican War, when he served as an assistant for General Winfield Scott. During the final attacks on the Mexican Army outside of Mexico City, Lee found a way to haul disassembled artillery to high ground and allow the Americans to bombard the enemy with great effectiveness.

He later served as commandant of West Point for three years.

In 1859, Lee led the U.S. troops that captured John Brown after the infamous raid on Harpers Ferry. When the first Southern states seceded, Lee was offered command of the U.S. Army, but he declined. Soon after, Virginia seceded, and Lee resigned his commission.

Lee served primarily as am advisor to President Jefferson Davis, until Gen. Joseph Johnston was wounded at the Battle of Fair Oaks (Seven Pines) in May, 1862. Johnston's successor, Gustavus Adolphus, had a nervous breakdown after receiving word he was now in command. The position thus fell to Robert E. Lee.

After driving the Union Army from the gates of Richmond in the Seven Days' Battles. Lee led Southern troopsps at the Battles of Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the Overland Campaign of 1864-1865.

Lee succeeded more often than he failed, with his only outright loss coming at Gettysburg. However, victory came at a price, and the Confederates never had enough men to capitalize. Eventually, Lee and his army simply ran out of soldiers in the face seemingly endless numbers of Union troops.

Following the war, Lee preached reconcilliation with the North and worked toward healing the divided nation. He expressed relief that slavery had ended, and that the South was, on the whole, better off without it. He served as president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee) until his death in 1870.

Yes, in fact. Ulysess S. Grant happened to be drunk at the time. Not only did this show disrespect towards Robert E. Lee, But this showed disrespect towards the entire Confederate Army.

The voting rights case, Right of Negroes to Vote in Democratic Primaries, was upheld by Waring's Decision. There was a headling of the Charleston Evening Post published June 12th in 1947. The case began without any thought of integration. Rather, the intent was to make the state of South Carolina provide equal educational opportunity for black children. But when the plaintiffs, led by NAACP Legal Defense Fund lawyer Thurgood Marshall, went before the district courts in Charleston, Judge J. Waites Waring responded by saying, "You are wasting my time - you've got the laws on the book which give you separate but equal, but as long as you have separate, you never will have equality. So go back and amend your case and come back and challenge segregation itself." On Judge Waring's advice, Thurgood Marshall changed tactics. Briggs v. Elliott was heard by a panel of three federal judges in Charleston, South Carolina, who ruled against them; however, Judge Waring's s' dissent formed the legal foundation for the Supreme Court in the Brown decision.

Why the growing animosity that was separating the North from the South during the election campaign of 1860 and after the election of Lincoln, he had seen with deep concern the looming threat of the destruction of the Union, the work of the Founding Fathers, which he loved with devotion.

He was afraid that after this election, the North would deny equal rights to the South treating the Southerners as a tolerated minority at the mercy of a intransigent majority, which the South would certainly not have accepted, but sought to avoid at all costs, even resorting to arms.

Robert E. Lee was in the top graduates of his class at West Point; he was a brilliant military strategist and had outstanding skills in logistics and other military tactics; his knowledge and experience on the fields of war surpassed many officers of his time. His passion was with the South, for whom he fought hard and with great courage.
