Lee IMO was the last "founding father" in the Revolutionary mode. Very similar to Wahsington in many ways. But times had changed.

Interestingly enough, Lee's father Harry was the former Virginia governor assigned by George Washington to lead the Federal troops that quelled the Whiskey Rebellion in the early 1790s.

I guess it only took one generation for the Lee family to see what kind of damage a powerful Federal government could do to the rights of free people.
