Answer: He would suddenly march north and attack Washington, D.C.
Robert E. Lee was the commander of the Confederate States Army. He was the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia in the American Civil War from 1862 to 1865. After Virginia declared his secession from the United States, Lee decided to follow his state, despite the fact that he did not like the idea of secession. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.
