Lee’s house became the Arlington cemetery center.

Lee lived at the Greenbrier for some time.

Lee’s home was turned into a national cemetery as an insult to him.

Always seemed to me that having it be the resting place of the greatest American soldiers and other leaders is something Lee would have, in contrast, considered a great honor.

I love the irony of Lee’s Arlington being seized by the Fed.Gov and purposefully desecrated with a cemetery that later becomes the nations most hallowed ground.
