Olde Tyme Civil War Card General Robert Edward Lee(1807-1870) C.S.A. #9

Description: Own a piece of American history with this "Olde Tyme" Civil War trading card featuring General Robert Edward Lee, one of the most iconic figures of the Confederacy. This card, copyrighted in 1991 by Green Productions, honors the life and legacy of Lee, whose leadership and military strategy left a profound impact on the Civil War. Born in Stratford, Westmoreland County, VA, on January 19, 1807, Lee was a complex figure. Though he did not believe in slavery or secession, he was deeply committed to the principle of protecting the liberties won by his forefathers in the fight for independence from Britain. His loyalty to his home state of Virginia led him to serve under Confederate President Jefferson Davis, where he was appointed a full general in May 1861. Lee commanded Confederate forces in several critical battles, including the Seven Days Battles and the Second Battle of Manassas, both significant Confederate victories. However, the war took a heavy toll on Lee and his army, especially after the devastating loss of his trusted lieutenant, "Stonewall" Jackson, in 1863. Despite his tactical brilliance, Lee was eventually forced to surrender to Union General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, marking the beginning of the end of the Civil War. This collectible card is a must-have for Civil War enthusiasts and history buffs, offering a detailed glimpse into the life of General Robert E. Lee, a man whose decisions shaped the course of American history.
