Robert E Lee resigned instead of taking the offered command of the luciferian “union” army that had decided to attack its own people.
Letter from Robert E. Lee to Simon Cameron in which Lee Resigned from the U.S. Army https://www.docsteach.org/documents/document/lee-resignation-us-army
When offered leadership of the U.S. Army on the eve of the Civil War, Robert E. Lee refused, citing loyalty to his home state of Virginia. In this letter to Secretary of War Simon Cameron, Lee resigned from the U.S. Army.
On April 18, 1861, the day after Virginia voted for secession, President Lincoln sent an unofficial representative, Francis P. Blair, Sr., to ask Robert E. Lee to take command of the United States Army. At this meeting, Lee spoke of his devotion to the Union and then asked to speak to fellow Virginian Winfield Scott. Lee told Scott that he would resign. The old Mexican War hero replied, “Lee you have made the greatest mistake of your life.”
In a letter to his sister, Anne Marshall, Lee explained, “I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I have therefore resigned my commission in the Army, and save in defense of my native State, with the sincere hope that my poor services never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword.”

After Abraham Lincoln was elected president, South Carolina seceded in December of 1860. They were followed by six other southern states. When Texas left the Union on February 1, 1861, Colonel Robert E. Lee was called back from San Antonio where he had been commanding the Military District of Texas for the past year. Arriving in Washington in April, Lee was offered command of the U.S. forces assigned to protect the city. By this time, Fort Sumter had been fired upon, Lincoln had called for troops, and Virginia had seceded from the Union. Lee had been in the U.S. Army for over thirty years, but he was also a Virginian. On April 20, Lee sent a letter of resignation to Simon Cameron, the U.S. Secretary of War. He wrote another more detailed letter to his commander and friend General Winfield Scott. The draft copy of this letter is in the Museum’s collection and is featured here.
