Bullshit. Virginia was not some separate entity from The United States. he fought against ''citizens'' of other states. A person who reside in a state is a ''resident''.

God Bless the great General, Robert E. Lee!

Please note that the UK isn't a separate entity from the E.U. Once you join you can't quit. Ever.

Lee regarded Virginia as his homeland and first loyalty. That is why he left his officer’s commission in the US Army, as one of the most impressive West Point graduates, to return to Virginia. We can say he should have looked at matters differently, but it is well established fact that he was “Virginia First” in his outlook.
