GENERAL - IN - CHIEF of the CONFEDERATE STATE ARMY
Robert Edward Lee
Born: Westmoreland, County, VA January 19, 1807
Died: Lexington, VA October 12, 1870
Lee was the only officer appointed to this position, which was created late in the war by the Congress of the Confederate States on January 23, 1865, but it had been debated as early as February 27, 1862. President Jefferson Davis voiced his rejection and veto the creation this position to the congress on March 14, 1862.
Believing that such a general could “command an arm or armies without the will of the President.” Davis performed the responsibilities of General-in-Chief himself throughout the war, acting as both a military operations manager and Commander-in-Chief.
On January 23, 1865, Confederate Congress appointed Lee as General in Chief and on February 6, 1865, Adjutant and Inspector General Samuel Cooper issued General Order #3, which announced Robert E. Lee as General in Chief of the Army.
