Robert E. Lee

Robert E. Lee was born in Stratford Hall, near Montross, Virginia, on January 19, 1807. He grew up with a great love of all country life and his state. This stayed with him for the rest of his life. He was a very serious boy and spent many hours in his father's library. He loved to play with his friends and he loved to hunt. Lee looked up to his father and always wanted to know what …

…United States has ever seen. He had strong beliefs and was a family oriented man. What separates him from other generals, is the true compassion he fought with. He showed no fear in battle and gave his men someone to look up to. He also used very educated tactics in order to win battles. I feel as though there is no other highly regarded military leader who fought with as much heart as Lee did.
