How did Arlington become our National Cemetery?

lee was a traitor who normally would have been hung if it wasn't for the benevolence of Lincoln and many of the union generals. losing a little property should have been the least of his concerns.

JeremyMara, As I write this, there are an equal number of thumbs down to your comment. Shows me we haven't come far since the Civil War.

things are true but it became a cemetery when Union families begin to come and bury their dead there during the war as a f*** you to General Lee

wow!! that's alot of cha-cha!
