Lee's sentiments were against secession, which he denounced in an 1861 letter as "nothing but revolution" and a betrayal of the efforts of the Founders.
Lee's attacks resulted in heavy Confederate casualties and they were marred by clumsy tactical performances by his subordinates, but his aggressive actions unnerved McClellan, who retreated to a point on the James River where Union naval forces were in control.
Lee died from the effects of pneumonia, on the morning of October 12, 1870, two weeks after the stroke, in Lexington, Virginia, and was buried underneath Lee Chapel at Washington and Lee University, where his body remains today.
