    Aye this is it. Arlington National Cemetery was literally Robert E Lee’s personal estate. The Union Army took it over and decided to start burying the Union dead there – Lee was killing them, so he can keep them.

    It’s crazy they’d put a Confederate monument there, on what is basically a US Army cemetery, that exists entely due to how crazy bloody the Civil War was.

    Long past time they removed it.
