Southern general (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lee

(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "Towards the side away from the wind (naut)" , "The side that's sheltered from the wind" , "Confederate general" , "Bruce ___, martial arts ace" , "Sheltered from the wind in Cork, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
