Confederate Harper Mexican Plain Shoulder
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures Robert E. Lee, one of the most renowned figures in American history, in the aftermath of the Mexican-American War. Born in 1807, Lee rose through the ranks of the United States Army, distinguishing himself in the war against Mexico in 1846-1848. However, his allegiance would ultimately shift when Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, and he became a general in the Confederate Army. In this photograph, taken after the Mexican War, Lee is depicted in his full military uniform, complete with a plain, high-collared jacket, sash, and epaulets. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of resolve and determination, traits that would serve him well in the years to come. The image is a testament to the complexities of Lee's life and legacy. A dedicated soldier and a man of principle, he is remembered for his leadership during the Civil War, where he commanded the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. However, his decision to join the Confederacy and fight against the United States remains a subject of ongoing debate and controversy. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and published by Harper's 88, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping American history. The image is a reminder of the complexities and nuances of history, and the importance of understanding the context and motivations of historical figures.
