Mattews, Olbermann, and the rest of the MSNBC propaganda team were just yucking it up over the confiscation of Mrs. Lee's family home, Arlington House, for a federal-only burial ground. How rotten he was, they chortled, to oppose the federal empire. The Unionz wanted, said one of the crew, Lee to see always in his mind's eye his wife's property as occupied ground, thus the graves. Then an unofficial voice piped up, noting that Lincoln's seizure of the property was later held to be illegal by the Supreme Court. He was quickly shut up. Mrs. Lee, NB, was a member of the Martha Washington family.
