    <![CDATA[Robert Edward Lee was a Colonel in the US Army until 1861 and the most successful general in the Confederate Army. His most important command during the American Civil War (1861-1865) was the supreme command of the Army of Northern Virginia. Finally, in January 1865, he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate Army. He justified his fame with numerous victories, which he fought with inferior forces, mostly by shifting the focus. Illustration from 19th century.]]>
