Lee's anger over Longstreet's attempt to spread the blame for the defeat at Gettysburg points to Lee's character. He refuses to not accept responsibility. Additionally, Lee has a strong Christian belief in the will of God. He cannot understand why God willed this defeat, but he also accepts this outcome as divine judgment.
