Lee is most notorious for his actions during the Battle of Monmouth. Washington needed a secondary commander to lead the frontal assault. He unwillingly chose to put Lee in charge as he was the most senior of his generals. Washington ordered him to attack the retreating enemy, but instead, Lee ordered a retreat. He retreated directly into Washington and his troops, who were advancing, and Washington dressed him down publicly. Lee responded with "inappropriate language" (insubordination), was arrested, and shortly thereafter court-martialed. Lee was found guilty, and he was relieved of command for a period of one year.

Lee was confused and did not know what to do going into battle at Monmouth. After not knowing what to do he was relived from position by General George Washington. He was then in control and command of his soldiers. Then blaming Washington for reliving him because he was going to fight the spot Washington said what he said. Lee was relieved by command for a total year. Washington "dressed him down publicly", while lee responded with "inappropriate language".

After completing his schooling, Lee reported for duty with his regiment in Ireland. He purchased a lieutenant's commission in 1751. He was sent with the regiment to America in 1754 for service in the French and Indian War under Major General Edward Braddock. Lieutenant Lee was apparently not with the regiment when it suffered disastrous defeat at the Battle of the Monongahela. - ...7 more comments...
