No-one.

Lee was one of many respected senior Virginians who did not approve of secession, and were hoping Virginia would not vote Confederate.

When it did, he felt he should resign from the US Army, as he could not take up arms against his own state. But he actually asked Winfield Scott if he could stay neutral. (The old man snarled "We don't want any fence-sitters!")

Only with reluctance did Lee join the Confederates. Nobody inspired him. But of course, he himself inspired many thousands of young Southerners.
