A confederate general who lost the Civil War. He was a slave owning racist, who, upon the death or Mr. Custis (his wife's father and owner of their inherited land) who had requested his slaves be freed upon his death, ignored those wishes and forced said slaves to work under him for 5 more years.
A real fuckin loser to anyone who isn't a southern hillbilly with little respect and/or empathy for the great injustice that was slavery.
Southern Hillbilly: "Robert E. Lee was the greatest general of all time."
Educated person: "...and a racist piece of shit who was defeated by the superior and morally sound Union Army."
