It was with regrets, Lee resigned his commission (after being offered the command of the union army) abandoned Arlington and moved to Richmond . Lee offered his services to the state of Virginia and was placed in command of all military forces from that state. He was assigned military adviser to President Jefferson Davis, were he had to coordinate numerous operations involving officers who were very sensitive about their command positions and obligations. In the spring of 1862, McClellan was poised to strike the city of Richmond. In a pitched battle at Seven Pines, General Joseph Johnston, commanding the Confederate forces, was seriously wounded. Lee replaced him. I hope this answers your question. Happy Holidays. God Bless You and The Southern People.
