Arlington

quoted:" Though the war hero’s land was actually confiscated during the Union army’s occupation from May 1861 to September 1865, his home, Arlington House, was spared from destruction and today sits within the cemetery, gazing toward Washington. At the outbreak of war in April, 1861, Lee declined a commission with the Union army, returning to his native Virginia to take command of the Army of Virginia".
