Robert E. Lee

My "I am..." character is Robert E. Lee and I got interested on in him because I was reading a novel where Robert E. Lee was referred as war hero. He was a general who won various battles and achieved many challenges. I know that he is a general who didn't really have a bright childhood, but he overcame that and became a war hero. He also had a father who was also a war hero. Because of his mistake he made in Robert's childhood, Robert's family had to leave the town and move out of the mansion that was a heritage from generations. Later, he found to be dead in a sailing trip from the government. His mother had to take care of five children, including Robert, alone. As I was researching, I noticed that he was in war a lot of his life. So, i wondered if he favored being in the battle field or if he didn't want to but he such a patriot that he had to go to war.
