General Lee does not vacate Arlington

Nytram01, yes, you're right - I meant it at you, whoops. My lame excuses are that I'm sick and it's something I care about. Here it is again:

Aww, yes, poor slaveholder and traitor, Lee. For his cause was truly a slaver coup against democracy, rebellion and war against the popularly elected popular choice. And, he met our definition of treachery, posted here.

And I dont deny Lee was a traitor as defined by the US consitituion, and I'm not trying to defend him against the actions the Federal Government took in regards to his wife's estate - illegal though they were as G.W.C Lee's victory in court proved. What I was doing was explaining how the Federal Government seized Arlington, why that estate was used as a military base and cemetary and the motivating sentiments behind the man who chose to do it.

You just seem to be more worked up about this issue than I am and, I dont know, unduely sarcastic.
