Brian+K.+-+I+am+Robert+E.+Lee

My "I Am" Person is Robert E. Lee. I knew that Robert E. Lee was the general of the Confederate Army during the civil war. I also knew he was one of the most important generals during the war. He won many major battles, but also lost many as well, such as the Battle of Gettysburg. I had a lot of questions about Robert E. Lee. I didn't really understand the choices he made during his life. I thought he could have chosen other options in his life. I believe he could have had a peaceful life, instead of a life filled with war.

My Primary Question Is:
 * Why did Robert E. Lee fight for the Confederate Army, when he really supported the Union belief of stopping slavery?**
