May they R.I.P. Which Civil War general's Virginia estate was turned into a cemetery?
Answer Robert E. Lee
The Union confiscated Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s 1,100-acre Virginia estate due to nonpayment of taxes. Lincoln allowed it to be turned into a cemetery so he would have to "look at the carnage he created". That cemetery is better known as Arlington Cemetery.
