Abraham Lincoln tried to recruit him to lead the Union Army. Being a patriot of Virginia he decided that he would be the general for the South and support them since his homeland was located in the South. General Lee came close a couple of times to winning a few battles. One day though, his battle plans were found by some Union army troops so they knew what his plan of attacks were. Even though he fought with the South, he did NOT believe in slavery. He thought that it was wrong. Lee surrendered out by the mountains because he knew that there was no way the south could win such a pointless and hopeless war. Also he didn't want anymore blood shed than already has been. He was good at heart and thought about others before himself. General Robert E. Lee was a good man indeed.
