Robert E. Lee was born in 1807, the son of a Revolutionary War veteran. He is best known as a general of the Confederate army during the Civil War. While he was considered a skilled military strategist, he is not remembered fondly due to his positive view of slavery.


Lee was photographed several times during his life.
