Arlington Cemetary got its name from General Robert E. Lee's home, Arlington House. You can still view the house on the Cemetary's grounds, today. The land that makes up Arlington Cemetary was confiscated during the Civil War by the U.S. government. They needed a place to bury the dead and it was the perfect punishment for Robert E. Lee for fighting for the South.
