Since his military school days, Robert E. Lee excelled as a
soldier. He was the first cadet to receive the rank of sergeant
while at West Point, where he graduated at the head of his class in
artillery and tactics, and ranked second in his class overall. Lee
continued his distinguished military career, and was asked by
Abraham Lincoln to take control of the entire Union army against
the Confederates. Instead, he fought for his native Virginia out of
loyalty during the Civil War. After surrendering to Ulysses S.
Grant of the North in Appomattox Court House, Virginia, Lee
supported reconciliation between North and South. He became known
as the great Southern hero of the war, and his popularity grew in
the North as well after his death in 1870. Today, Lee is remembered
for his character and his devotion to duty, and he remains an
iconic figure of American military leadership.
