Lee did not welcome the role of planter while administering the Custis properties at Romancoke, another nearby the Pamunkey River and Arlington; he rented the estate's mill.

I usually rate books I don't like a 3 because writing a book seems hard (and 2 is reserved for just the worst, almost no one gets 1). Maybe I'm spoiled by Below Deck (which gets about the last 15 pages and that's it in this book) and having watched White Squall a hundred times, but I wanted more adventure and more drama. On June 24, 1859, the anti-slavery newspaper New York Daily Tribune published two anonymous letters (dated June 19 [51] and June 21 [52]), each claiming to have heard that Lee had the Norrises whipped, and that the overseer refused to whip the woman but that Lee took the whip and flogged her personally.Before this, Lee had petitioned the courts to keep people enslaved by Custis longer than the five years allotted in Custis' will, since the estate was still in debt, but the courts rejected his appeals.

Breckinridge, who was the pro-slavery candidate in the 1860 presidential election and had supported the Lecompton Constitution for Kansas, rather than Constitutional Union Party nominee John Bell, the Southern Unionist candidate who won Virginia and voted against the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution as the United States Senator from Tennessee.

In the generation following the war, Lee, though he died just a few years later, became a central figure in the Lost Cause interpretation of the war. While home in the summer of 1829, Lee had apparently courted Mary Custis whom he had known as a child.Unlike many Southerners who expected a glorious war, Lee correctly predicted it as protracted and devastating. It elected him as commander of Virginia state forces before his arrival on April 23, and almost immediately gave him George Washington's sword as symbol of his appointment; whether he was told of a decision he did not want without time to decide, or did want the excitement and opportunity of command, is unclear.
