I think Lees persona and personal situation are too complex to simply brand him as "traitor". I am no expert, but technically he maybe even wasnt, since he returned his commission as an US officer and thus left the US army after rejecting taking command and before taking command in the confederate army.
Colloquially he may be more clearly be identified as a "traitor" since he turned the back on his country, the oone he was born and raised in and served as an officer for.
