it has that history to it as well and robert e. lee married into that in this parlor on june 30th, 1831 under the arch way where you can see the uniform and the dress on display. 24-year-old lieutenant robert e. lee of the u.s. army married marianna randolph. the sweetheart of robert e. lees as well as a great granddaughter of martha washington but this wasn't the only wedding that took place here in fact it wasn't the first wedding. the first wedding took place here ten years earlier when a woman named mariah carter married charles and what made that wedding important in the history of this place is that they were both enslaved here and mariah was believed to have been the daughter of the master and so she was an enslaved woman from some type of relationship that existed which george washington fathered a child by one of the enslaved women here. and this is forcing us in many ways to reexamine how we interpret the history of arlington. because here we have the story of slavery and this place represents the founding ideas of this count

army officer, robert e. lee, and that is how robert e. lee comes into this picture. again, this is arlington house, the robert e. lee memorial. it has his name but there is so much more than went on here than just robert e. lee. >> i always referred to this as the custis lee mansion. >> i was known as that for quite some time. it was established as a memorial, a historic home in 1925 by congress, then became part of the national parks service in the early 1930s. but it was an act of congress in 1955 that actually established this firmly as the robert e. lee memorial as arlington house. the reason it became a memorial to lee was not because of his duties and what he did during the civil war, but for what he did after the war. >> he had a pretty spectacular view. but washington, d.c. was really in 1802. >> it was a big swamp. it wasn't a wonderful place to look at. but george washington parke custis thought it was important to overlook this federal city, knew there were great things to come. and it is an incredible view and that view changed quite a bit other the 55 yea

is it any surprise that robert e. lee was worried about having half of the potomac's calvary core eater sitting on or around his flank late in the day on july 2? not a surprise at all. he was so worried about it that on the morning of july 3, he summoned a brigadier general to come to the battlefield for the first time. what does he do? he places it right behind the center of his line so that they are there in case the union calvary sweeps around his point flank and gets into his rear, he has a force of calvary cavalry in position to defend against it. when you hear about stewart and what he is going to be doing on july 2 -- excuse me, july 3, you have to understand, his job was to protect the confederate flag. -- flank. there was a book published a number of years ago and i will borrow a line from one of my favorite military philosophers, of the 20th century, colonel sherman t. potter from "mash." it is horse hockey. 's theory is that somehow stewart was supposed to sweep down the road, he was to send his horse artillery

grand, coordinated attacks, and stewart will have his artillery fire shot and could be heard by robert e lee that would tell him he was in position and ready to go. it's talk about this. this calvary was seven miles as the crow flies from where we was. the ability of robert e lee to hear for artillery shots at a distance of seven miles with fighting in between is a physical impossibility. it simply is not possible. when you hear about this nonsensical theory, if you take nothing else away from this talk today, i hope you take away with you the fact that it is nonsense and nothing more than nonsense. let's talk about what actually did happen. 2, thenight of july division of kilpatrick will move from hundreds town and go down in the direction of two taverns and along with farnsworth's spend --they will kilpatrick's and farnsworth gates will camp together. farnsworth's brigades will camp together. fellowwas an interesting and knew he wasn't going to finish first so i figured he might as well finish last. in yourinished last closet west point, they considered you and you mortal. it really was by

stonewall jackson and robert e. lee are iconic figures -- the confederacy and stonewall jackson and robert e. lee. we about four years ago put together an exhibit called "the paradox of liberty" where we talk about thomas jefferson, but the title was "thomas jefferson and the slaves of monticello" because during his lifetime, he owned over 700 slaves. we had thomas jefferson, a statue of him, and behind him, we had the names because they did excellent research, and they know the names of all the enslaved that he owned, so we put this huge series of tiles behind him that had the names of those in slaved. our suggestion was that in order for you to know who thomas jefferson was, you had to see him not just as an inventor, not just as a statesman, not just as an author, that he also was an owner of slaves, and in order to see him, you had to see him through that prism as well. i suggest that there are things that can be learned about robert e. lee and about stonewall jackson that we do not know because they have a come ico

lee's inscription says. "to the glory of god, all right just and merciful, and undying tribute to the life and witness of robert edward lee, servant of god, general in chief of the armies of the confederate states whose compelling sense of duty, serene faith and unfailing courtesy mark camper all ages as a christian soldier without fear and without reproach." the windows show the general as a soldier, educator and engineer. stonewall jackson is shown ineling prayer fully cantwell of bugler plays any reads the bible. he is shown in an adjacent ,indow as an armored crusader arms uplifted while heavenly trumpets play. "like arial reads, stone wall at his steadfastness, swift as lightning, mighty in battle, he walked humbly before his creator whose word was his guide. this day is erected by the united daughters of the confederacy and his admirers from south and north." for the moment the confederate battle flag sedin removed from the windows and replaced with rectangular pieces of colored glass. the days, the windows, they were made. can their meanings change over time? can what is appropriate or acceptable change

mary's ther in 1838 dashing young robert e. lee. when the troubles between the north and south erect in the 1860's, this house at arlington was the house of the confederate general robert e lee. it overlooks the federal city and union troops occupy it at the beginning of the civil war. this is an image shot in 1862 where you see federal troops standing on the front porch. tent iservation of the a woman named selena gray. this is half of a stereoscopic image and an eagle eyed volunteer spotted this on ebay. it's a stereoscopic image labeled slaves of the lee family, but they were able to identify selena gray. for maryhe chambermaid lee and lived in the house and was entrusted with the keys to all the locker rooms where all of these items had been stored when robert e. lee and the rest of the family fled. things like silver paintings, , theents were taken away tents and military equipment, a lot of the porcelain service given to martha washington was still there. so, selena gray protected this until she could not keep the soldiers out.

that is the home robert e. lee and his wife mary custus. you can see from the acronym, arho is the acronym for the arlington house and this is the catalog number. so if any of us wanted to get specific information about this little baby crib, we could get that information from right here, but can you tell it's a nice -- it's a nice 19th century baby crib. the arlington house is currently undergoing a major renovation, so many of the collections from the arlington house were moved from the house to be stored temporarily here until the renovations can be completed at the house, and then they would go back on display and exhibit at the house. the same thing happens to many of our house site. they periodically go through renovations and improvements. douglass home has undergone a tremendous renovations a couple of years ago. those collections came out here, and then they moved right back into the home once they finished the renovation. one thing that's difficult to see though is if you look at this large, avoid the tub-looking thing. that is in

despite mary custis lee arguing that this was not property of robert e. lee -- that it was her personal property that she had inherited, it is night -- not until 1901 when the family received -- when the items are returned to the family. the last surviving child to robert e. lee was miss mary custis lee. she died in 1918. she was the last surviving child. early 20th century, after the return of these items to the lee family, she eventually becomes the sort of custodian. annas to the researcher of that she is a recent graduate who did -- of anna in the back -- she is a recent graduate who did her thesis on mary custis lee. she carefully selected where these items would be placed after her death. fortunately, for us in philadelphia and people around the nation, she interviewed right down the street there. in this evening bulletin article and in a subsequent article in the richmond paper, you can see right here -- she actually had the photograph taken of the tents taken out of business sony and and -- out of the smithsonian and taken on the lawn. she was kind

so as the army is shifting, robert e. lee is trying to read the tea leaves, intelligence that he's getting and he's getting reports of this movement and he's got reports of burnside having moved off into this direction and he starts thinking, in the wilderness, the earp's fought fought for a couple days, they came to stalemate and grant moved left and south. they've been here in spots sylvania fur a couple days. they fought to a stalemate and now he's got reports of federals moving left and south. what do you think that puts in lee's mind? i'm being flanked again. grant's on move. lee starts to mobilize portions of his army to hit the road and try to block grant again. and the first parts of his army that he's going to move is his artillery because that's the slowest moving part of his army. it's raining and turning roads to muck. so the first artillery pieces he's going to pull are these right here at the tip of the hul shed because they're the farthest away from the roads, only a few farm lanes that service this area. so he

what does robert e. lee intend the for the if i kickses around -- fortifications, what is his intention for the earth berms? they are a springboard to taebg attack. a last report, a last different if you need. but the idea is to move forward from the earth works. he will make a slight rearrangement and sam mcgowan's south carolinians to strike at aers exposed flank. sam crawford tries to bring his division but they are repulsed as well. so mcgowan is looking for additional reinforcements to push the federals off the one position on the boyden blank road. but as former virginia governor henry weiss's man nelson miles extends over sending them for the trenches on wide oak road. this bar in particular represents the ego of joshua lawrence chamberlain as single-handedly he manages to drive all three confederate brigades back into their own entrenchments. but the fifth corps now is isolate isolating pickett who on march 31 has the most successful day he will experience in the american civil war. pickett takes the

the end result is that robert e. lee is not standing on little round top, he is not on cemetery hill, he is not on colts hill. army has unfinished work here and the confederate army has unfinished work here. we have a battle that is not yet over or decisive. there is no question in my mind that the third day of the battle of gettysburg is the turning point. robert e. lee had combat power, a fresh division that he can use on july 3, 1863. he does not have that on the morning of july 4. he is used all of his divisions and action and he does not have a good reserve. the turning point of the battle is july 3. if -- you are going to call a council of war on the evening of july 2. john given, one of the people who chronicles this meeting, there represent the second union army corps, talks about it being late in the evening after the action is over, my guess is about 10:00. it is not going to break up until probably around midnight, july 2 and july 3. there is a discussion about what the union army is going to do their, called
