When Lee County was created by the Arkansas state legislature in 1873, the state was approaching the end of official Reconstruction and the reemergence of the power of the Democratic Party. Many believe that when African-American political leader William Furbush proposed naming the new county in honor of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, it was an attempt to show his allegiance to the area Democrats.
