George Washington served as commander of the Revolutionary War soldiers who brought this country into existence. Then he served as the first President of the United States.

Robert E Lee, having a greater loyalty to his state and his property, chose to serve as commander of the Confederate Army who were traitors to this country through seceding from this nation and attacking this nation in a war. Once lost, then he went home and was pardoned by the United States.

any more questions about the difference between them?
