Famous Figures Of
American History
Jefferson

federate Army by Jefferson
Davis.
Throughout the course of the
Civil war Lee proved himself to
be a master of strategy and a
genius of cunning; his brilliant
and rapid maneuvers were con-
tinually surprising the northern
leaders. In June, 1868, Lee at
tempted the daring feat of north
ern invasion. He might have been
successful, but for the alertness of
the Federal general, Meade, who
stopped Lees advance at Gettys-
burg, Pennsylvania, in the battle
of July 1, 2, and3, 1868.
1t was not until 1864, when
Lee found himself opposed by
General Grant, that the former
was obliged to acknowledge his
own weaknesses. These were not
those Of leadership, but were due
to an insufficient supply of arms
and equipment. On April 9th,
1866 Lee surrendered to Grant
and Immediately retired to pri-
vate life, becoming president of
Washington College, now Wash
ington and Lee University, at Lex
ington, Virginia.
He died in 1870. In his last
moments he fought his old bat
ties all over again for his final
words were, "Tell Hill he must
come up"
