I'm not a Generals afficianado, so forgive me but I didn't know until today that Robert E. Lee was not a U.S. Citizen after the CW. Although he submitted the necessary documents, Lee was never returned to U.S. citizenship during his lifetime; instead, Congress would posthumously restore his citizenship in 1975.
