GDG- NPS & slavery

[ATMackeyJr at aol.com]

The point, Peter, is that a good chunk of the people buried in Arlington  
Cemetery were from the Civil War, and the vast majority of the people who 
lived  at Arlington were slaves.
 
Slavery is an integral part of Arlington, both the cemetery and the  
plantation.  You can't tell its story without emphasizing slavery and its  role.

Al-

I did not give you a long dissertation  on all the people who  came and 
went- including all the slaves who  didn't "came &  went".

Why ask me?  the info is available  online.

It's not like all I do in life is pet my kitty kat.    Sometimes I respond 
to your posts, you know!   :-)  !!!!

Your  Most Obedient Servant,
Peter

Interesting you don't seem to consider almost 200  human  beings to be 
people 
living at Arlington.  When asked who  lived  there, you only give the 
owners 
and their families.   Nobody else  matters to you.

I'll let others decide what that  says.

Al-

My    friend-

LOL-

You are   killing  me.

LOL-   First  GWP Custis and family lived  there.  (To  be   quick)

Then when  GWPC died  R.E. Lee lived  there with  his  growing    family.

What do I get for a   prize?

Your   Most   Obedient  Servant,
Peter
