Beautiful monument on Robert E Lee's Plantation. The monument is surrounded by Confederate graves of those that fell defending their States against the invading Northern States in the War between the States.

To further honor these citizens of the South, the United Daughters of the Confederacy petitioned to erect a major monument to the Confederate dead. On March 4, 1906 Secretary of War William Howard Taft granted their request. The cornerstone was laid on Nov. 12, 1912 at a ceremony featuring speakers William Jennings Bryan and James A. Tanner, a former Union corporal who lost both legs at the second Battle of Bull Run. He was commander in chief of the Union veterans group, The Grand Army of the Republic. That same evening, President William Howard Taft addressed the United Daughters of the Confederacy at a reception in the Daughters of the American Revolution's Centennial Hall.
Beautiful, meaningful memorial to the local American citizens/soldiers. Very fitting especially since it is on property stolen from Robert E Lee. One of my favorites at Arlington.
Great quotes on this monument! It’s just west of the Tomb of the Unknown. Also see why their markers are different.
A disgraceful monument to slavers and traitors.
We have but one flag, one country; let us stand together. We may differ in color, but not in sentiment. Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict. -Nathan Bedford Forrest History is being erased and warped to fit a sick anti American narrative. This isn’t a battle between left and right it’s a war between Good and Evil. Our founding fathers are spinning in their graves.
