Lee’s military brilliance was such that his tactics are still taught today at West Point, even though he fought for the Confederacy.

During the retreat from Petersburg, an orderly described him as being, “Self-contained and serene…It was a striking illustration of Christian fortitude, the result of an habitual endeavor to faithfully perform the duties of one’s station, and of unquestioning trust in the decrees of an all-wise Creator” (Wilkins 315).
