Well no shite, he was the commanding general of the Confederacy the entire time.

Lee was an idiot. He had a huge advantage from a military POV and couldn't leverage it. Thankfully.

No, he wasn't. He didn't take command of the Army of Northern Virginia until June 1, 1862 and wasn't named General-in-Chief of all Confederate forces until February 6, 1865.
