Full Description

In the Shadow of Washington begins by explaining that Robert E. Lee strongly opposed the destruction of the Union and desperately hoped he would not have to choose sides. However, he made clear that if Virginia seceded, he would follow. Most scholars who have studied Lee's decision to support the Confederacy agree that the deciding factor was his loyalty to Virginia. McCaslin explores why Lee felt so loyal to the state, and finds that the roots of his fidelity lie in familial ties and not state loyalty. Many of Lee's family members, including his father, were directly involved in the Revolution. This attachment was reinforced by Lee's marriage into George Washington's family. McCaslin asserts that Robert E. Lee was a devoted follower to George Washington and his legacy and that, in both his decision to support the Confederacy and in his military leadership, he sought to emulate Washington as an inspirational leader and successful commander.
