No, he was not. Lee was a leading patriot, member of the Second Continental Congress, and the first member of the Second Continental Congress to make a motion to declare independence from Britain. This proposition resulted in Thomas Jefferson writing the Declaration of Independence.

In June 1774, William Pitt, a member of Parliament, asked British leaders to become patient. The first Continental Congress met because they were trying to adopt a more gentle way of governing America, and to possibly petition Britain for a more respectful treatment. This was not to be, and the Congress was forced to reconvene two years later to very seriously discuss independence.

It sent the Olive Branch Petition to the King, affirming loyalty and entreating prevention of further conflict.
The First Continental Congress, convened in 1774, made several key decisions: First, they issued the Declaration of Rights and Grievances, asserting colonial rights and protesting British actions. Second, they organized a boycott of British goods, known as the Association, to pressure Britain economically. Lastly, they agreed to reconvene if their grievances were not addressed, laying the groundwork for future resistance against British rule.
i think (from what i know from my textbook), the second continental congress influenced the conflict between the colonists and Britain because the congress started sending tons of stuff (like the Olive Branch Petition) to King George and also sending George a tougher statement called the Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking Up Arms. but the effort to make peace failed. in fact, King George didn't even bother to answer the Olive Branch Petition. instead, he declared the colonies were "in open...rebellion." Parliament, meanwhile, voted to send 20,000 soldiers to the colonies to end the revolt. and all this influenced the conflict between the colonists and Britain.
