∙ 12y agoThe largest cemetery in the United States is Arlington National Cemetery. The land on which the cemetery is llocated was the home of Robert E. Lee before the Civil War. Afte he declined command of the Union armies and took command of the Confederate Armies, the land was confiscated on the grounds that he had failed to pay taxes on it, although arrangements to pay the taxes had been made. It was then turned into a cemetery in suc a way that the house could never be occupied as a residence again.
It is located in Arlington, Virginia, across the Potomac river from Washington, DC.
