Answer 1

Robert E. Lee, a West Point graduate and career soldier, is famous for being one of the great generals and heros of the Confederacy and the Civil War. His father-in-law was George Washington Parke-Custis, the grandson of Martha Washington, and Custis was adopted by Washington. After his marriage Lee's home was Arlington House plantation which before the war had ended, was as an act of spite, being used as a cemetery for Union soldiers. After the war, Lee saw Arlington only once, at a distance, as he passed in a train. He died in 1870.
