He had the problem of loyalty-to the country that gave him his military education or the seccesionist south of his home. He had, by far, the more highly trained and motivated officer corps, but the north was much more able to raise men to be used as cannon fodder. His knowledge of the land upon which most of the battles were fought gave him a certain superiority .His tactics and strategies were far superior to anything the Union could muster. His homeland faced far superior numbers and a naval blockade that kept war material from reaching his troops. Attrition and lack of food, clothing, ammunition and men was his ultimate undoing

In the beginning, whether to join the Confederacy or to remain a Unionist.

Afterwards, he had to deal with how to jeep the Union army at bay and save the Confederacy.

losing to the union both times he invaded the north.

Robert E Lee was a General most capable. He had served the Union in the Mexican-American War, and was most unorthodoxically capable in his efforts.
When the Civil War broke out, the Union asked for his services again, but he chose his state of Virginia, as he believed in the 'state' before 'union' in this situation. He was so capable, the South almost won! However, the south didn't have the industrial backing to achieve victory.
That's my statement, good luck with your paper.

Lee could not get as many soldiers into the field as the northern armies could.

Robert E. Lee faced the issue of having to listen to and advise his commander-in-chief, the President of the C.S.A., who would never find fault in his friends (Braxton Bragg, Leonidas Polk) but found many faults in those who were not (Pierre Beauregard, Joseph E. Johnston).

In the end, Lee's "superior" tactics were only sufficient to defend Virginia, buy time which was spent in the vain hope of Marylanders joining the Confederacy, or diplomatic reconition from England (or France).

Lee also faced the issue of watching the the war in the west as it was lost by Jefferson Davis and his generals, and as it was won by the superior generals George H. Thomas (also from Virginia), Ulysses S. Grant, and William T. Sherman.
