[quote=Anonymous][quote]Sure, but when you go to Arlington they might mention it was Robert E Lee's house. They may even mention that it was occupied by Union forces right after Lincoln illegally over threw the Constitution and invaded Virginia, starting with Alexandria. The Union forces took Arlington because it was high ground, which from an artillery position, was key. [b]What they don't tell you is that Arlington was chosen by Yankees to bury their dead on just to make sure he would never live there again, or that the federal government illegally took the land (Mrs Lee tried to pay the $92 in back taxes through an agent, but was turned away). Finally, years later it, after taking the case to the Supreme court, it was awarded back to Lee's heirs, who being thoroughly and understandably sick of a lovely estate that had been turned into a cemetery full of Yankee dead as a giant "FU" to the South, sold it at fire sale prices[/b][/quote] Actually, they do teach this story.[/quote]
