He was a Confederate military general who was generally remembered by historians for being the leading cause - or one of several causes, for the South's downfall in the Civil War. They blamed it on his poor military strategies. Hence, him and his associates by complete accident tore apart their own cause and helped slaves be free for the rest of American history.
