American History TV visited Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial. Built by George Washington Parke Custis, step-grandson of George Washington, Arlington House was originally a memorial to the first president.*Robert E. Lee married Custis' daughter, Mary, who was the great-granddaughter of Martha Washington, and it was at Arlington House that Lee resigned from the U.S. Army at the outset of the Civil War.*Arlington House is the only national memorial to a former Confederate leader, and recognizes Lee’s post-war public efforts at reconciliation. close
