Why did the Arlington National Cemetery become a cemetery?
Arlington National Cemetery was first used as a cemetery during the American Civil War. The site was the home of General Robert E. Lee, who married a descendant of George Washington and the Curtis family. A Union colonel wanted to make it so General Lee's home would never be used again, so he confiscated the home and began burying the Union dead on the property sometime in 1862 or 1863. After the war, the Lee family sued the US Government for compensation for the land that was taken from them. They were eventually awarded some compensation for the illegal seizure of their property.
