“the Rebel General,” Lee was a disbeliever in slavery and secession and was devoutly attached to the republic that his father and kinsmen had helped bring into being. He was, moreover, very advanced in his rejection of war as a resolution of political conflicts—a fact that has been almost entirely ignored by posterity. As a U.S. Army colonel in Texas during the secession crises of late 1860, he wrote, “[If] strife and civil war are to take the place of brotherly love and kindness, I shall mourn for my country and for the welfare and progress of mankind.”
As the idol of a defeated people, Lee served as an example of fortitude and magnanimity during the ruin and
dislocations, the anguish and bitterness of the war's long aftermath. In those years, he became an enduring symbol to the Southern people of what was best in their heritage.
