When Virginia declared its secession from the Union in April 1861, Lee chose to follow home state, although he wished the country remained intact and proposed a senior Union command.

After the war, Lee supported the Reconstruction Program and President Andrew Johnson's friendship in communication, while opposing radical Republican proposals to free the slave and vote on allies. old. He urged them to rethink their place between the North and the South, and the reintegration of former Confederates into the political life of the nation.
