We remember Robert E Lee (1807-70)

We remember Robert E. Lee who was born on this day in 1807.   He died in 1870, or a few years after The Civil War.

Lee was a distinguished military man and West Point graduate. He was a man of great character and accomplishment.   

In 1865, General Lee surrendered because he understood that his side had lost and wanted to avoid more bloodshed.
