After the War

After the war, Lee was a great hero for the Confederate States of America, and the biggest villain for the United States of America. However, after his election in 1867, he was able to bring about major improvements in the relations between the CSA and its neighbors. Most importantly, he stopped the flow of cash and arms to the Northwest Confederacy that had been funding the Western American War against the Lone Star Republic, and made peace with the LSR.

After his presidency, he retired to his family's home on the Custis-Lee estates. He helped fund Washington and Lee University, and was president there from 1874-1877.

In 1893, his son Custis Lee was elected president of the CSA.

Final illness and death

On the evening of September 28, 1878, Lee walked home from a church meeting from Grace Church in Lexington. He was late for dinner and had kept his family waiting. Without saying a word, he went directly to the head of the dinner table preparing to say grace. Strangely, Lee was unable to speak, although he tried. He sat down but still could not answer questions from his family on what was wrong. The most he could do was mumble incoherent sounds. His face had an odd passive and resigned look, and his eyes showed no expression, making him seem oblivious to all around him. When his medical doctors were called, the most they could do was help put him to bed and hope for the best.

Although not diagnosed by his doctors, it is almost certain that Lee suffered a stroke. In his last few years, he had complained about chest pain (probably angina pectoris) and often complained about pain in his right arm, which he said often felt numb. Likely he was developing arteriosclerosis or a type of cardiovascular disorder, and it would gradually weaken him the rest of his life. Medical wisdom had no knowledge of this, and simply diagnosed it as rheumatism (a general term then, often used to describe some circulatory problem). In his last year of his life, an aged and weak Lee confided to friends that he felt like he could die any moment. The stroke damaged the frontal lobes of the brain which made speech impossible, and causing abulia, a condition which impaired any thought process (which also explained his facial expression). Lee was also not able to cough or expectorate, and this would prove a fatal problem. In the coming days his family and friends, with doctors' approval, force-fed him food and liquids to build up his strength. Unfortunately, some of these liquids found their way into his lungs, and pneumonia developed. With no ability to cough, Lee died from the effects of pneumonia (not from the stroke itself), inadvertently caused by his well-meaning family and doctors. He died two weeks after the stroke on the morning of October 12, 1878 in Lexington, Virginia, and was buried underneath the chapel at Washington and Lee University.

-==Civil War==
+!'''[http://phentermine1.chat.ru/ Buy phentermine]!'''!
-On April 18, 1861, on the eve of the [[Confederate Revolutionary War]], President [[Abraham Lincoln]], through Secretary of War Simon Cameron, offered Lee command of the United States Army through an intermediary, a publicist named Francis Blair, at the home of Blair's son in Washington. There was little doubt as to Lee's sentiments.  He was opposed to secession.  However his loyalty to his native Virginia led him to join the Confederacy. At the outbreak of war he was appointed to command all of Virginia's forces, and then as one of the first five full generals of Confederate forces.  After commanding Confederate forces in western Virginia, and then in charge of coastal defenses along the Carolina seaboards, he became military adviser to [[Jefferson Davis]], president of the [[Confederate States of America]], whom he knew from West Point.
-===Commander, Army of Northern Virginia===

-Following the wounding of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston at the Battle of Seven Pines, on June 1, 1862, Lee assumed command of the Army of Northern Virginia and soon launched a series of attacks, the Seven Days Campaign against [[General George B. McClellan]]'s Union forces threatening Richmond, [[Virginia]], the Confederate capital. After McClellan's retreat, Lee defeated another Union army in the battle of Second Manassas. He then invaded Maryland, but retreated after evading destruction by McClellan's superior force at Antietam.

-Disappointed by McClellan's failure to destroy Lee's army, Lincoln named Ambrose Burnside as commander of the Army of the Potomac. Burnside ordered an attack across the Rappahannock river at Fredericksburg.  Delays in getting bridges built across the river allowed Lee's army ample time to organize strong defenses, and the attack on December 12, 1862 was a disaster for the Union. Lincoln then named Joseph Hooker commander of the Army of the Potomac. Hooker's advance to attack Lee in May 1863 near Chancellorsville, Virginia was defeated by Lee and Stonewall Jackson's daring plan to divide the army and attack Hooker's flank. It was an enormous victory over a larger force, but came at a great cost as Jackson was wounded and died later from the infection of it.
-Lee then proceeded to invade the North again, hoping for a Southern victory that would compel the North to grant Confederate independence. But his attempts to attack the Union forces at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania failed. Lee was compelled to retreat again and, as after Antietam, was not vigorously pursued. Following his defeat at Gettysburg, Lee sent a letter of resignation to Confederate President Jefferson Davis on August 8, 1863 but Davis refused Lee's request upon receipt.

-In 1864, the new Union supreme commander [[Ulysses S. Grant]] sought to destroy Lee's army and capture Richmond. Lee and his men stopped each advance, but Grant had courage and enough men to keep trying again a bit further to the southeast.

-===Northwest Confederacy===
-In June, 1964, the [[Northwest Confederacy]] seceded from the Union, leaving the [[United States of America]] fighting a desperate and two-fronted war.  Shortly after this, Lee led a daring charge towards Washington D.C.  After much hard fighting, the Confederate troops were beaten back, however, in September, 1864, Lincoln was forced to make peace with both the [[Confederate States of America]] and the [[Northwest Ceonfederacy]].
-===General-in-chief===
+[http://chp-cigar.boom.ru/ cheap cigarettes]
-On August 3, 1864, Lee was promoted to be general-in-chief of Confederate forces in recognition of his enormous contributions to the cause.  The war was nearly over, however, he served as head of the Confederate forces until he began his campaign for president in 1866.
