General of the Army of Northern Virginia. Graduate of West Point. No political offices. He was president of Washington college before he died. He was a professional soldier. He was anti slavery and anti secessionist. Lincoln offered him command of the US Army, but Lee remained loyal to his state of Virginia. He was and is a genuine American hero.
