Thank you. I remembered he fought in the Mexican-American war. But I also recall President Lincoln felt Lee unnecessarily prolonged the war and that was a big reason he lost his citizenship. I need to do more reading now, this has piqued my curiosity.

Lee was torn but ultimately felt that he couldn't betray his home state by fighting for the Union. He was an honorable man and a great general.
