General Robert E. Lee was a devout follower of Jesus Christ.

It is said that soon after the end of the American Civil War, he visited a church in Washington, D.C.

During the communion service he knelt beside a black man.

An onlooker said to him later, "How could you do that?" Lee replied, "My friend, all ground is level beneath the cross.”
