Answer 10

There are suggestions that he didn't want to fight the North, and that he was hoping that his home state of Virginia wouldn't join the Confederacy. But when it did, he was named a general. After some early setbacks, he was assigned as military adviser to Jefferson Davis before again taking command of Southern armies in 1862.
