Robert Edward Lee(January 19, 1807– October 12, 1870) was an American soldier best known for commanding theConfederateArmy of Northern Virginiain theAmerican Civil Warfrom 1862 until his surrender in 1865. The son ofRevolutionary WarofficerHenry \"Light Horse Harry\" Lee IIIand a top graduate of theUnited States Military Academy, Robert E. Lee was an exceptional officer andcombat engineerin theUnited States Armyfor 32 years. During this time, he served throughout the United States, distinguished himself during theMexican–American War, served as Superintendent of the United States Military Academy, and marriedMary Custis.
When Virginia declared its secession from theUnionin April 1861, Lee chose to follow his home state, despite his personal desire for the country to remain intact and despite an offer of a senior Union command.[1]During the first year of the Civil War, Lee served as a senior military adviser to PresidentJefferson Davis. Once he took command of the main field army in 1862 he soon emerged as a shrewd tactician and battlefield commander, winning most of his battles, all against far superior Union armies.[2][3]Lee\'s strategic foresight was more questionable, and both of his major offensives into the North ended in defeat.[4][5][6]Lee\'s aggressive tactics, which resulted in high casualties at a time when the Confederacy had a shortage of manpower, have come under criticism in recent years.[7]Union GeneralUlysses S. Grant\'s campaigns bore down on the Confederacy in 1864 and 1865, and despite inflicting heavy casualties, Lee was unable to turn the war\'s tide. He surrendered to Grant atAppomattox Court Houseon April 9, 1865. By this time, Lee had assumed supreme command of the remaining Southern armies; other Confederate forces swiftly capitulated after his surrender. Lee rejected the proposal of a sustained insurgency against the North and called for reconciliation between the two sides.
After the war, as President of what is nowWashington and Lee University, Lee supported PresidentAndrew Johnson\'s program ofReconstructionand intersectional friendship, while opposing theRadical Republicanproposals to give freed slaves the vote and take the vote away from ex-Confederates. He urged them to rethink their position between the North and the South, and the reintegration of former Confederates into the nation\'s political life. Lee became the great Southern hero of the War, a postwar icon of the \"Lost Cause of the Confederacy\" to some. But his popularity grew even in the North, especially after his death in 1870.

There were three successive national Flag designs that served as the official nationalFlags of theConfederate States of America(the \"Confederate States\" or the \"Confederacy\") during its existence from 1861 to 1865. Since the end of theAmerican Civil War, private and official use ofConfederate StatesFlags, and of Flags with derivative designs, has continued under some controversy, bothphilosophical,political,cultural, andracial, in theUnited States. These include Flags displayed in states, cities/towns/counties, schools/colleges/universities, private organizations/associations, and individuals.
Today, the currentstate Flag of Mississippifeatures the familiar Confederate \"battle Flag\" in the\"canton\", or upper left corner.Georgia\'s state Flagis very similar to the first national Flag of the Confederacy, the \"Stars and Bars,\" even though its design has not incorporated the Confederate \"battle Flag\" since 2001 (X-shaped, blue \"St. Andrew\'s Cross\" with 13 white stars on a red field) design in the canton of the upper left corner. The designs of several other American state Flags, currently in use, such as that ofVirginiaandLouisiana, date to the time of theConfederacyand theAmerican Civil War. The currentFlag of North Carolinais also a modified version of the 1861 Confederate design.
