NO APOLOGY NECESSARY because:

1. General Lee NEVER owned Arlington House (in point of fact, the Custis family didn't want her to marry him as he was one of the poorest of their relations.) General Lee had GROSS assets of less than $500US upon his resignation from the US Army. he never lived there for more than about 45 days at a time, and then only as a guest of HER family.

Arlington House belonged to his wife's FAMILY, who did have money, slaves & other property. his wife BRIEFLY had residence at Arlington House just before the WBTS, but as far as the curator of the museum knows, she never had title to the property.

once again, you are either ignorant or a liar. which is it????

2. COL Ely Parker was a traitor to the Seneca nation. the presence of a handfull of renegades & traitors to their respective tribes as auxilliaries to the US army means ZILCH to this conversation;there were Jews who assisted the NAZIs too.

furthermore, you never said whether you believe that "might makes right"???? inquiring minds want to know.

BTW, don't you get tired of knowledgeable people on FR laughing AT you????

Let me know when you find a knowledgable person who laughs at me. Mary Custis Lee lived almost continuously at Arlington.

My previous post shows that this statement of yours is wrong. He lived at Arlington for 2 years as executor of the estate.
