Summary

The Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place for over 400,000 United States service members and their eligible family members, and the most well-known and highly esteemed national cemetery in the country. Yet few know of how this esteemed burial ground came to be; a result of overcrowding cemeteries during the Civil War, in a place that was seemingly chosen out of spite-- the home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Connect with Southern Gothic Media: Become a Patreon Supporter Join our New Facebook Group!
