Not so both of you. For shame you don't even know the life of General Lee.

Please read about Robert E. Lee, one of the greatest generals in the history of western civilization.

You'll see that the Federals, not the United States, attacked Virginia. When Virgina seceded he went home from West Point because Virginia, in the modern parlance, was his HOMELAND.

The Federals marched on Virginia, and the war was begun. It became the war of the 'United States' when Lincoln drafted unwilling soldiers fto fight on the behalf of the Federals. He literally had to send in the militia in New York city, to subdue the unwilling draftees.

That did not happen in Virginia, where Virgina's sons willingly came to her defense, unlike today's citizenry.
