Robert E Lee was one of the greatest generals to ever graduate from Westpoint. He also happened to be the great leader of the South during the Civil War.

Never heard of him......
Wait, oh yeah!!! He was just the General of the bad guys in the Civil War. Led the Confederates to victory in Fredericksburg, Bull Run, Chancelorsville, just to name a few. He's in just about any history book.
