Why was the location chosen for the Arlington national cemetery?
The land that is now Arlington National Cemetery was, until 1864, the property of the family of Robert E. Lee. The U.S. government acquired the land in a rigged tax sale, an act the U.S. Supreme Court later ruled was an unconstitutional seizure. The person most responsible for this seizure and designation was Quartermaster General Montgomery Meigs. It has never been proven that Meigs made this decision primarily as a snub towards Lee, but that is a reasonable assumption.
