Robert E. Lee

[| click here] Robert E. Lee was very skilled when it came to battle plans and commanding the military. Right before the Civil War broke out, the North asked  Lee to comand the Union Troops. But he did not accept the offer because he could not fight against his homestate, Virginia. Even though he fought for the South he did not want slavery. He opposed it greatly.
