Robert E. Lee Side Profile
As Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, Lee enables the vastly out-resourced Confederacy to extend the war over four years. A West Point graduate, he is Superintendent there after serving in the Mexican War. When the Civil War breaks out, he sides with his home state of Virginia. In 1862 he humiliates McClellan’s army on the Peninsula, then follows with two invasions of the North. The first ends with a bloody loss at Antietam. The second begins with the remarkable double envelopment of Hooker’s army at Chancellorsville, but culminates with the bitter defeat at Gettysburg. After that, his dwindling army fights heroically until Appomattox. Lee ends his days as President of Washington College in Lexington, Virginia, dying in 1870.
