Robert E. Lee and General Stonewall Jackson final resting place. 

The Generals of those day were very special. We have changed a lot along the way for sure. They were the right people for that point in history for sure.

@@AdventuresofmalibuandDad Many of them were. I like and respect Lee and Jackson, and JEB Stuart had his style. I learned a few years ago there's actually an African American church with a stained glass window of Stonewall Jackson!! Turns out, Stonewall gave money, books and Sunday school teaching for a group of African Americans. In genuine thanks they wanted to honor him in their church. I think Jackson relatives gave money for the window. Nathan Bedford Forrest though was a vehemently sadistic and very violent racist: One of the leaders of the KKK and earlier Night Riders Terror group. Thanks for your kind tour of Lee's and Jackson's cemeteries and burial locations. Good resting places.

Jeb Stuart was cousin, once removed to Robert E. Lee. Jeb Stuarts' Mother was Robert E. Lees' first Cousins' child. And Jeb had grown up playing at the Arlington House, playing with Robert E. Lees' Sons... The chastising, that they say, that Robert E. Lee gave to Jeb Stuart, at the Gettysburgs' campaign: I seriously doubt ever occurred. For Stuart being late to returning back to Robert E. Lees' camp. Because Jeb Stuart ran reconnaissance for Robert E. Lee, out in front, of the Army of Northern Virginia and Lees' two sons rode with their cousin, Jeb Stuart, to make a one heck of a reconnaissance team. But North of Gettysburg, Jeb Stuart was confronted with George Armstrong Custer and his Union Men. And heated battle exchanged: That proved successful for Jeb Stuart and his men, taking numerous Union Wagons of supplies. This is Why Jeb Stuart was late in returing to Robert E. Lees' camp. Yes, Robert E. Lee was worried... with his two sons being with Stuart (A Dad and a family worries.) And Robert E. Lee had suffered a heart attack, coming into Pennsylvania. And the out door temperature had been in the high 90s, For over 6weeks and there had been no rain.

@@carlcushmanhybels8159 Nathan Bedford Forest slaves rode with him.

@@savanahmclary4465 I think Stuart's mission was to scout,find the Union forces and report back on the nature and composition of those forces,he was the eyes of Lee's Army, but instead when he found the Union forces,it seems he exceeded the scope and authority of his orders by raiding Union supply trains before reporting back,by the time he reported back to Gen.Lee,I think it was the second day of the battle of Gettysburg, Gen.Lee was already engaged against a Union Army whose strength and composition he did not know,who knows if Stuart had reported back after he scouted out the Union forces immediately, there may have been a battle fought,but it may not have been fought at Gettysburg, but elsewhere and the battle and war,may have turned out for differently.

Man that’s awesome. I hope I did your grandpa proud on this video. I really enjoyed making it. His history is amazing. Thank you for watching.

@@AdventuresofmalibuandDad I never knew my grandpa just grandma her sister and brother but I did know most of my grandpas brothers and sisters but I don't know my family that much all my grandma said that we were really related to him and I had this feeling that we were

@@AdventuresofmalibuandDad You are so welcome sir, from what I had heard of him he was a hard man to know he was a heavy smoker, stubborn,he was strict, I guess he wanted have things his way he was 10yrs older than grandma and he'd died before his last kid was born and that's all I know except he came from a big family of 8 or 10

And my late husband seas also.he might have been a confederate but he he'd love and compassion for his family friends and slaves. He treated them as part of his family

Thank you for sharing the history that one day might be lost. I have a 6th great uncle that served in the union army. Gen. Henry Wager Hallock

Thank you for watching. I appreciate you. The area is very beautiful. I’m headed back this week to go inside and see even more stuff. Please subscribe to the channel so you can watch the update when I put it out. Thank you again for your comment. I love what I do. It’s nice to share with others my adventures.

@@AdventuresofmalibuandDad I have become a subscriber and I look forward to your future videos. I have been a civil war buff for over 50 years and have visited nearly 100 civil war battlefields. I had family members that fought on both sides. A family member died at Gettysburg, another at Shiloh and yet another died in a Confederate prison. I’ve had the privilege to serve in our military and my families military service goes back to the Revolutionary war. I love it when our brave men and women are remembered. Thank you!!

Visited Lexington 2 years ago to see all things Robert E. Lee. It's a charming town, but imagine my horror to find that that great man's body had been removed from Lee Chapel and relocated to another area in the rear. I also went to Richmond and saw the vacant spot where Lees beautiful statue was removed from Monument Avenue. I asked around to find out where it was going to be stored, and was told it was to be given to a slave museum to be melted down and turned into another kind of statue for that museum. I could just cry at the obvious punitive nature of that gesture.

I had the same experience when my grandfather took us on a long ANV vacation- Gettysburg- Antietam- Fredericksburg- Chancellorsville Petersburg Appomattox etc- it was brutal driving from mobile Alabama up there at 55 mph windows cracked- Winston cigarettes burning nonstop. Pop wouldn’t let us play the Nintendo in the van much-or use the vhs and tv- the struggle of childhood. We both loved the cw very much

I loved sitting in the generals pew - the chapel was absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t believe how many lemons were given to general Jackson. Our last trip in 2005 was to Georgia- Chickamauga and then Longstreets grace where me and pop left a cigar

Wow love to hear those stories. I loved the area . VMI was a really cool place . Thank you so much for watching. I hope you will subscribe for more military adventures. I spent my years in the U. S Army Calvary as a scout 1/37 armored. I love everything about it. Have a super day thank you agin for watching.

Thank you for your service.

Who would have guessed a math teacher would be the war's greatest strategist.

Cool . I just love civil war history ❤️

Let Me Guess…You’re an Albertan…Right?

Sorry for the mistake. The history review I read was in 1861 he was promoted to Major General. I’m no expert by far and way to young to have been there. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you watching and putting in the time to respond. Have a nice day .

Thank you very much. I really appreciate you and your comments. I enjoy your channel also. Thank you for watching.

She loves her play time between videos. Thank you Bob for being a loyal supporter. We enjoy your comments and viewership. Your a great guy and friend.

Awesome. I’m glad you were able to enjoy it. It’s such a nice area. Love the civil war history there. Thank you for the comment. Hope you subscribe for more to come.

Thank you for watching and your comments. Please subscribe for more history to come on my channel. I really appreciate you.

You maybe right about that. Interesting concept. What if ??? Thank you for watching. I appreciate your insight and comments.

I have to agree also. IMO....Jackson would have taken Culps Hill and Cemetary Ridge on Day 1 in the early evening. He wouldnt have left the high ground to Meade. From there on Day 2,Jacksons artillery could rain hell on the Union troops all day while General Ewells troops and Jacksons troops put Hancocks boys under seige all day. That coupled with Lee agreeing to redeploying Longstreets 1st division right threateningthe Union left flank would have resulted in Union troops being caught in a pincer. If the Union didnt forfeit their fishook positions they could have lost the battle on Day 2. But for sure Hancocks boys would have been exhausted for Day 3s fighting up against Picketts charge. I still believe even without Stonewall,the strategic initiative was for Longstreet,J.B.Hood,McLaws to re-deploy right. At that time,there werent ANY troops on Little Round Top,Bog Round Top or Devils Den. The Rebs would have rolled up the Union flank like a carpet

The turning point!

I think you are absolutely right.

Wishful thinking for the "Lost Cause" folks. Had Jackson lived, it may well have prolonged the war a bit as he was a brilliant commander but defeat was inevitable for the South as they simply could not replace their losses. By late 1864 the Confederates were losing nearly as many men to desertion as they were on the battlefield and by the Spring of 1865, many left to go home, only the most stalwart remaining. The North had a steady flow of replacements with every boat full of immigrants that landed. The Confederates were depending on stripping dead and captured Union troops of clothing and supplies. The North had enough men that they did not need to exchange prisoners which led to overcrowded POW camps on both sides. I have studied this war for many decades and in my opinion, Lee and Jackson were two of the greatest generals produced by either side.

They were both pretty cool and great Generals. I love the history .Thank you for the comments and suggestions. I really appreciate you taking your time to watch and comment.

@@stevetollund9238 I think he explained the school changed its name. During Lee's time it was VMI.

With the passage of time they should have know it was a lost cause no way the south could win

I hear you from here

Stonewall was Patton on a horse…an intense tactician….Robert E Lee was the reluctant humble servant…faithful to his home state….Virginia…

Well said. Thank you for those comments. I love the history and to visit those places in history that mean so much to others. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. There’s no better compliment to me. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my channel. There’s much more ahead. Get out and Adventure when you can and enjoy it.

Yes very true. Thank you for you insight on this. I want to do another follow up on his family’s home and this topic . Thank you for watching. Have a great day my friend. So much more to come.

I already knew this. I always wondered about being reimbursed for the property though. I know the family fought for the property for a long time.

Understandable given the horrific sufferings of the Civil War though.

I believe the property was once owned by George Washington and passed down to Lee's wife.

@@chrismaurer2075 Think that's right. Washington's wife's family name was Custis

Yes we did. I guess growing pains happen in every generation. Thank you for watching. I appreciate you. Have a super day.

I really enjoyed making it. Thank you for watching and commenting on it. It makes me happy when people like yourself enjoy. I’m glad I could make it for you and others . Keep watching more to come.

Definitely different times. There’s so much in history to learn from. I’m always amazed how much more I can find when I research for myself. Thank you for watching. I love history and military things. Please subscribe for more to come. Have a great day. Thank you for you comment and insight. I appreciate you.

Thanks, intriguing. I'd like to know what he said.

Oh he did? What did Sherman WIN with ALL his looting burning and murdering? How many slaves did he actually FREE? And with ALL the Southerners plantation home that Sherman looted. . What did he do with his loot? Did it go to improve the quality of all those slaves he supposedly Freed? Did it go into the USA Treasury? Reconstruction sure didn't get it... did it? Where is IT?? ... Oh the short coming tales in history. SUCH A FARCE!

I don't know what he said,but it should not be too hard to figure out,that when two countries go to war and one has the industrial manufacturing necessary to make war materials and the other does not common sense dictates the industrialized country will win,barring the intervention of another industrialized country,with a powerful military against it.

@@hubertwalters4300 It's just the way Sherman described what was forthcoming. I was going to post a link to what he said but I thought better of it considering the mixed company here.

Thank you Ray for watching. I enjoy your friendship and loyal viewing. I appreciate you..

Q: Who is buried in Grant's Tomb? A: Nobody, it's a tomb not a grave. His body is above ground. (classic old joke from the 1900s.)

Neat story on this one. It was one of my first and did it explode big time. I wish all my videos did this. I really enjoyed this video myself. RU-vid is very funny. You just never know which video is going to be the one. I can tell you this I’ve enjoyed it every step of the way. The best part of it is making friends like you and your family. I really appreciate that part of this thing called RU-vid. ❤️

It’s my channels favorite. Eleven thousand view in three weeks. I’d say it went pretty viral. Thank you for watching. I’m headed back on a road trip to Virginia and there a lot more to come. Make sure you subscribe and enjoy. I appreciate you watching our channel. Thank you!

I pray they never do. History is to important to erase. Thank you for watching. ❤️

Wow thank you for sharing that story. That’s some awesome info. Thank you for watching my channel. Please stick around and subscribe. There is so much more to come.

@@AdventuresofmalibuandDad Keep talking about Robert E. Lee. He and his family do NOT deserve the degrading, that the ignorant are expressing today. The Lees' are the "COMMON WEALTH of Virginia." Along with the Washington's & the Fairfaxs. Descendants of the Spotswood and Culpeppers. You would defend Virginia too.

Yes I do know where you are talking about. I live close to this cemetery. I love this area and it’s history. Thank you for watching my channel we appreciate you and your comments. Both these men were just incredible leaders. This by far was one of my favorite videos to make. Thanks again for stopping in and watching. Please subscribe for more if you like civil war history and graves .

Stay tuned to my channel. I’m headed back to his grave site this week and I’m going inside for a full chapel view and grave review. Thank you for watching. I appreciate your comments to. Have a super day my friend.

I just wanted to ask there was a guy claim that he was Robert E Lee relative come to find out after all these years he was a fake he was a so-called preacher that was for taking down the War memorials he was a fake not that I'm saying you are I'm just saying did you know

Washington & Lee Univesity added the Lee family mausoleum to the back of the Chapel, in the basement, below Lees' office. The mausoleum is a brick wall that contains each of the remains (caskets) of the Lee family members. With a wrought iron fence in front of the Mausoleum. Where each Lee Family name can be viewed on the wall at their internment. Robert E. Lees' holds the center position on the wall. Robert E. Lee was first entombed in the Washington and Lee Chapel Basement Floor.. Then the later wanted re join remains with his Family: So, they built the mausoleum.

I feel like you suffer from CPTSD. Maybe take a short self assessment.

I want to visit his home site at Arlington Cemetery. He was an amazing man and general. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you checking our channel out. I hope I earned your subscription.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will research it and see if we can fit it in. Make sure you subscribe for more content.

Awesome General and great history. What a decision to make for anyone. Thank you for watching. I appreciate your comments. There’s a lot more of this to come . Road-trip next week is gonna rock with even more civil war stuff. Please consider subscribing.

Zachary Battista, you have been badly indoctrinated by what is being taught in school systems. And the way AMERICAN HISTORY NOW omits facts. There Would be NO USA if it had NOT been for the Lee family, as one of the Signers of the "Declaration of Independence." And As the founders of the Virginia "Common Wealth." ALL WARS ARE ABOUT MONEY and WEALTH AND WHO CONTROLS IT!... And Slavery, on North America was brought here by the English. And their first slaves were Scots and Irish from the king of Englands' war with Scotland and Ireland. And if you would RESEARCH the Shipping Companies Archived and dated Ledgers and Manifest, at the Maritime Repositories in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina you will find that SLAVERY was dying on North America by 1764. And by 1800 the Shipping company were looking for other cargos to transport.. And by 1807 many Shipping Companies NO LONGER TRANSPORTED SLAVES: Because it was NOT PROFITABLE. Also, if you will research the "Common Wealths"/ States dated and archived Legislatures records of there proceedings and LAWS: You will find that many, "Common Wealths" / States had made LAWS by 1807 to out LAW SLAVERY. If you will Research: The "Common Wealths"/ States archived and dated Plat maps and Property Tax records, you will find that starting around 1764, the Aristocrats and Planters had also found that the use of SLAVERY was NOT PROFITABLE. Family Plantation archived and dated Ledgers and records Because SLAVERY was a "Depreciative Capitol" Investment.. They lost more than they made profits: Feeding. Housing, clothing, health care and on job training. Was not enough to cover by the Slaves PRODUCTIVITY. Therefore, by 1764 The Aristocrats and the Planters had decided to have multiple children: with some of the Aristocrats and Planters having as many as 23 to 25 children. (Family Bibles listings) And they divided their properties and plantations into 40 to 160 acres small, farms, with each of their children inheriting their portion. And farming the small farms themselves. And their descendants still are. Even the Civil War statistics clarifies this by 92% of the Southerners that fought for the South were small, individual dirt farmers of 40 to 160 acre farms, that DID NOT OWN SLAVES. Only 8% of the Southerners that fought for the South, owned SLAVES. The only place on North America that the business of using Slaves thrived was in the "Deep South," "Common Wealths"/ states . That once was known as "Dixie" For these "Common Wealths"/ states were still in use of the French CURRENCY the "DIX." That was left over after the "Louisiana Purchase 1804." .. That brings me to what the Civil War was about. Before the Civil War the USA consisted of SOVEREIGN "Common Wealths!" That contained more than one state as they do today. And the "Common Wealths," had different geographical boundaries and borders. And each of the "Common Wealths," were SOVEREIGN and govern by SOVEREIGN North America Extended Families and financially backed. These SOVERIGN North American Extended Families made a collabration when they signed the "Declaration of Independence," that they could SUSTAIN North America ECONOMICALLY as an "INDEPENDENT," NATION...Declaring it to the WORLD...

@@savanahmclary4465 your copy and paste reply fails to mention slavery ended in the North 50 years before they break out of the Civil War. Rape, murder, torture, human trafficking, free labor, are just a few of the human rights issues that your confederate government was condoning. The south wasn't giving up there slaves, defeate on the battle feald was the only way.

It’s just a beautiful city. So much history. ❤️ Thank you for watching and stopping by our channel. Have a blessed day.

Thank you for watching my channel. Please subscribe for more civil war history to come. I appreciate you.

Yes agree. Thank you for watching. Please subscribe for more civil war stuff. I appreciate you.

I guess they do. Wow!!

Isn’t the may 8 1971 the date they placed the memorial

Yes he is. Unfortunately the chapel was closed when I filmed the video of his resting place. Thank you for watching.

President Davis resting place is in the famous Hollywood Cemetery Richmond VA Many great Confederate Legends and at least two US Presidents Monroe are resting there

Sorry they have been closed for renovations . We are going to get inside when they are done. Thank you for watching.

When I visited the chapel where Lee and his family are buried in the basement area, you were not allowed to take any pictures or video of the area where they are buried. That was 9 years ago. Maybe that has changed.

Thank you Patman!! Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate you.

I know it went viral on me. I was so excited. Truly blessed when something like this happens. The channel not doing to bad for only 2 months out. It’s been a lot of fun for sure. Meeting to many cool folks along the way. Glad you are well. Thanks for the check in. I appreciate your help.

The inside is be renovated. No access at this time.

Yeah. He has a nice spot with family all around. Lee chapel is pretty awesome.

They have. Research them.

I love the history. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Long live the Southern States, the Confederacy and her heroes of history

@@garycarpenter6433 I don’t think slavery is something to be proud of ..nothing worse than a human being treated like property thank god those days are over and black people have rights and dignity

I can agree with that but in some places slavery is still a problem

Amen 🙏 ❤️

Amazing….

He has amazing history. He was an outlaw and former confederate Captain.

Wasn't he one of quantrills raiders also

@@stevewilkins6562 I will have to research that. I found some stuff related and its quiet interesting.

Wow that would be a sight to see. Thank you for checking out our video today . We really appreciate you taking time to check out our channel. Please let us earn your subscription today and check out our other civil war stuff and check out our Hollywood cemetery video if you love civil war stuff.

Thank you for watching Sir. I appreciate your insight and corrections on this vlog. I’m no expert in history, but someone who strives to learn more when I can. My channel tries to get people access to places they can’t get to. I’m also a veteran of the U.S Army. 19D. I love when other veterans watch my channel. Thank you for your service and insight on this vlog. I’m always striving to do better. God bless you.

Thank you and God Bless every last member, of you family for their service.

Very cool history.

He was a big fan of lemons. He always had some with him during the civil war. In the movie Gods and Generals, there is references to his love of lemons.

@@jimwilson7824 I was wondering the same thing.

I’ve always wondered that myself. Thank you for watching my channel. I appreciate your comments. Have a blessed day.

I think slavery would’ve been continued and blacks be treated like shit until folks get fed up and fight back ..you can only keep people down for so long before they fire back

@@notme1728 Lincoln only got to do ½ of what he was planning he Freed them yes, but at that time they were NOT Citizens, just Free people Lincoln was going to DEPOT them selves, Free people out of the United States. None of them were ever swan in as USA citizen.

What if John Simpson hadn’t of left Ireland for America in 1760,there would have been no General Grant,would that have had an impact on the outcome of the war do you think?

​​​@@notme1728 It would have remained, but only for a short time. It was extremely inefficient, and Great Britain would not have acknowledged the CSA as long as slavery existed. It would have been abolished, and the majority of freed slaves would have moved north to the USA. Post Script: Slaves had no access to firearms, and had already been "kept down" for the better part of 300 years.

Very true. You can’t erase history. It’s important to protect history and teach it to generations to come. America is the greatest country in the world. Because of our constitution we are set apart from all others. Thank you for watching my channel and sharing your thoughts and comments.

Yes I agree. VMI has changed a bit.
