Confederate general (3)

I believe the answer is:

lee

'confederate general' is the definition.
(Robert E Lee)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "Towards the side away from the wind (naut)" , "Sheltered accommodation" , "Cork river" , "Area sheltered from the wind" , "Confederate general" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and the Penny Press.
