ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY:  On April 20, 1861:  Colonel Robert E. Lee resigns from the United States Army two days after he was offered command of the Union army and three days after his native state, Virginia, seceded from the Union.  Lee opposed secession, but he was a loyal son of Virginia. His official resignation was only one sentence in length.  Two days later, Lee was appointed commander of Virginia's forces with the rank of major general.
