It is dispiriting to learn about the history of the house (you can see the Capital area across the Potomac from the house), the people that lived there, and how the Union Army crushed any memories Lee and his family may have had there. They not only started a cemetary on the property, they dug a mass grave right outside the front door. It seems unnecessarily cruel. Lee's decision to go with Virginia must have stung very hard for this heartless behavior to happen.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915948349223137648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16096012.post-64340240296182952912011-08-22T11:38:55.533-07:002011-08-22T11:38:55.533-07:00Great post!
