No. He was considered a traitor to the Union and lost his plantation for back taxes of 99.00. He tried to pay it, but they wanted him to pay in person so he couldn't since he commanded the southern troops. His home was taken and the graves of Union soldiers were placed there. It is now known as Arlington where the presidents and fallen soldiers of war are buried. When he surrendered it was VERY lucky to be able to go home instead of prison. NEW RESPONDENT Only to add something interesting it is worth remembering that, in 1863 after Chancellorsville Lee was donated a precious Sword of Honor by "a Marylander" as a sign of gratitude for his great military accomplishments in defence of the Confederacy.
