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.
@@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.
@@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
It might be noted that as he entered the cemetery, the plot where he said Jackson's family is buried, is where Gen'l Jackson was initially buried after his death, and his body was removed and reinterred later on underneath the current statue of him. Legend has it, that Stonewall Jackson would often be seen sucking on lemons, and visitors to his gravesite often put lemons on his tomb as a result.
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.
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.
I had the pleasure of visiting Lexington 9 years ago on my way to New England. We visited the chapel and the guide allowed me to sit in the spot where Robert E. Lee sat when he attended church. It was amazing that his office in the basement looks the same as it did when he passed away over the 150 years ago. We also visited Stonewall Jackson’s gravesite and VMI while we were there. You feel like you have stepped back in time in Lexington. Nice video that reminded me of that trip. Thanks!
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
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.
His family owned the property which later became Arlington National Cemetery. It was used informally as a burial ground by Federal forces. The the Lee-Custis property was expropriated by the federal government at the time and - if memory serves - the Lee -Custis families were never compensated by the government for the - let's call it for what it was - theft of his property. He had no "home" to go back to - hence a major reason for his residence in Lexington.
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.
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 for the tour... It's good to see them at rest in such fitting places in Virginia as they both gave up so much for Virginia... You can read alotta military history and not find anything close to showing the ability or sence of duty displayed by these two... R.I.P. Generals
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.
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
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.
I've dreamed since I was 16 (I'm now 60) to visit these historic places from the Civil War, but the bureaucracy at the American Consulate in São Paulo, Brazil, is huge and even so, the "visa" became a lottery!
William Tecumseh Sherman said one of the most prophetic things I have ever read in predicting how the war would begin and end. It's almost chilling how accurate he described how the war would unfold.
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.
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 for traveling to places that some of us will never be able to see. Being disabled and living off my disability I am one of those that will never see these places. I do love American history so I had to subscribe.

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 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.
What a contrast to the once neglected and desecrated tomb of General Grant in New York, which was defiled by bums, winos, and dope addicts for decades, until the political embarrassment was so great, they had to clean it up ! I visited this chapel years ago, when the actual battle flags were hanging above the " recumbent Lee" carving. You could see his office downstairs, which was left exactly as it was the day he had his stroke in 1870. I noticed an open book Lee was reading about Native Americans on the plains. How ironic...he is learning about and studying them , while his former opponents have started SLAUGHTERING them !! Lee was a dedicated servant to his duty and a noble man. He was beloved for a reason and he should be remembered and honored in our history....says this Yankee from New England !
Thank you for sharing that. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on here. Please subscribe for more to come. I need more history folks like yourself. Helps me get better. Stay safe my friend,
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. RUclips 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 RUclips. ❤️
This is a beautiful video, Thank you for sharing. It saddens me tho NOT to be able to go into the Lee chapel, that Lee built as his tender at Washington and Lee University. (I've visited there numerous time. It's Beautiful!! And Amazing.) The Robert E. Lee and George Washington are cousins. And Washington had served with his cousin Lighthorse Harry Lee (Robert E. Lees' Father) during the American Revolution. Mrs, Mary Custiss - Lee was Martha - Randolph - Custiss - Washingtons' great grand daughter. And Mrs. Mary Lee had grown up in the Arlington House and Plantation with George Washingtons' presence. The one thing Mrs. MARY CUSTISS LEE never got over was the Looting that the Union Troops had done while they occupied the Arlington house: The Union Troops held an auction at the Arlington house and invited dignitaries from England: Auctioning off numerous George Washington Revolutionary War military and Family heirlooms. With the English dignitaries purchasing numerous pieces and taking them back to England. That the Lee's were never able to Recover.. Mrs. MARY CUSTISS LEE was heart broken. And often cried about it, to her death. Virginians are kin. One time that I visited, was shortly after they had built the Mausoleum in the back of the Chapel were Robert E. Lee and his family are entombed. But I was over whelmed with joy to see, that in front of Robert E. Lee and his families crypts' floor was layered with numerous fresh, red Rose's today! Lest We forget this man and his Familys' sacrifice for this countrys' LIBERTY!
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.
I´ve been to Lexington many times including visits to Lee Chapel, VMI, Washington & Lee University, and Stonewall Jackson´s grave. Our cousin lived in Lexington, and owned a boarding house across the street from the cemetery main entrance. You failed to mention Stonewall Jackson´s home located in Lexington as well. My mother´s family comes from Virginia, and dates back to 1620 Jamestown.
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!
Did you mention his sons were buried around the perimeter of the statue? From the dates it looks to be maybe his grandchildren being that one served in World War II?
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
He misspoke. Robert E. Lee's grave is not at VMI, but is located beneath the University Chapel and Museum at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. Stonewall Jackson’s gravesite is located in the Oak Grove Cemetery in Lexington, Virginia. The cemetery was originally known as the Presbyterian Cemetery, but was renamed in 1949 as the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery after the Confederate general, who was buried there in 1863.
Lee was from one of the wealthiest families. His true home is above the Arlington Cemetery in Washington D.C. In fact the land was really part of his estate pre 1861
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.
I was really quite disappointed that we didn’t get to see the actual gravesites. Also, general lee from when I was told did not go back to Arlington because right in front of the house is where the Yankees soldiers were buried and that’s how it became Arlington national cemetery.
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.
Many many "Lees" are immigrate to Brazil after the end the secession War . Are founded two "colonias" here...Americana Citi and Santa Barbara do Oeste .

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.
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.
First let me mention that I am a direct descendant of a guy from Georgia who fought in the Army of Northern Virginia. My ancestor was in Company A of the 21st Infantry Regiment and he was from Climax, Georgia. A lot of my ancestors on both side fought in units from Georgia and Alabama. That said I am also a retired USAF officer and an amateur historian. Did the author say that Arlington was Robert E Lee's family home? Actually he was born in Alexandria, Virginia and didn't have much of a family home. He mainly grew up in a relative's home, a Fitzhugh house. Arlington is the Custis family home, his wife's family. Robert E had retired from the US Army and was living there at the start of the Civil War. The US did try to compensate the Lee and Custis families for the seizure of Arlington but that money was not accepted. There is some interesting video here but the whole thing wanders around and has an abrupt start.
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.

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.
I did not know that I found out that I was watching a show about Union Army and the Confederate it was on history Channel my family in England help out the Confederate on guns and bombs did not know that what a history
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.
God bless Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jeb Stuart, and MANY more southern heroes too numerous to name here.
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.

Let Me Guess…You’re an Albertan…Right?
Both men were the greatest heroes in the Civil War Long live the Southern States and the South
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…
I had the pleasure of visiting Lexington 9 years ago on my way to New England. We visited the chapel and the guide allowed me to sit in the spot where Robert E. Lee sat when he attended church. It was amazing that his office in the basement looks the same as it did when he passed away over the 150 years ago. We also visited Stonewall Jackson’s gravesite and VMI while we were there. You feel like you have stepped back in time in Lexington. Nice video that reminded me of that trip. Thanks!
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
RIP Sir! My hat is off to you, and you fine horse!
I was there at 9 am on August 11, 2022. Didn't open until 11 am and couldn't wait. Did see Stonewall's Grave at Oak Grove Cemetery.
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.
His family owned the property which later became Arlington National Cemetery. It was used informally as a burial ground by Federal forces. The the Lee-Custis property was expropriated by the federal government at the time and - if memory serves - the Lee -Custis families were never compensated by the government for the - let's call it for what it was - theft of his property. He had no "home" to go back to - hence a major reason for his residence in Lexington.
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
Jackson should be referred to as a Lt. General, the highest rank he attained. not Maj. General, which is one rank lower.
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 .
Love the videos! Very neat episode! Keep preserving history and stay safe!!!!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate you and your comments. I enjoy your channel also. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for the tour...
It's good to see them at rest in such fitting places in Virginia as they both gave up so much for Virginia...
You can read alotta military history and not find anything close to showing the ability or sence of duty displayed by these two...
R.I.P.
Generals
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.
Adventures of Malibu and Dad, you did a great job. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
May both these noble warriors rest in peace. Jackson's death quite possibly cost the South the war.
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.
Great tour. Nice seeing you today. Keep up the good work. Love this type of stuff.
Thank you my friend. I enjoyed catching up with you.
I've dreamed since I was 16 (I'm now 60) to visit these historic places from the Civil War, but the bureaucracy at the American Consulate in São Paulo, Brazil, is huge and even so, the "visa" became a lottery!
William Tecumseh Sherman said one of the most prophetic things I have ever read in predicting how the war would begin and end. It's almost chilling how accurate he described how the war would unfold.
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 for traveling to places that some of us will never be able to see. Being disabled and living off my disability I am one of those that will never see these places. I do love American history so I had to subscribe.

BEING FROM JUST SOUTH OF RICHMOND VIRGINIA I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN LEXINGTON VIRGINIA AND BUENA VISTA IT IS SOME PRETTY COUNTRY AND A LOT OF CONFEDERATE HEROES ARE INTERRED THERE
Love the history videos! Malibu was hilarious with her " little " stick!
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.
May his spirit live on.
To bad that the school he saved has turned on him, he was an honorable man that served his home state.

Never saw any of your videos before I just subscribed thank you for great videos.
Thanks buddy. I hope you find some you enjoy. I appreciate your support and subscription.
I wish you would have been able to show Robert E Lee's grave because I'm related to him through my dad's side of the family.
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.
Thank you for this video
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.
Lexington, Virginia
What a contrast to the once neglected and desecrated tomb of General Grant in New York, which was defiled by bums, winos, and dope addicts for decades, until the political embarrassment was so great, they had to clean it up ! I visited this chapel years ago, when the actual battle flags were hanging above the " recumbent Lee" carving. You could see his office downstairs, which was left exactly as it was the day he had his stroke in 1870. I noticed an open book Lee was reading about Native Americans on the plains. How ironic...he is learning about and studying them , while his former opponents have started SLAUGHTERING them !! Lee was a dedicated servant to his duty and a noble man. He was beloved for a reason and he should be remembered and honored in our history....says this Yankee from New England !
Thank you for sharing that. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on here. Please subscribe for more to come. I need more history folks like yourself. Helps me get better. Stay safe my friend,
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.)
A beautiful and somber visit. And you also hit the youtube algorithm jackpot as well!
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. RUclips 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 RUclips. ❤️
What a great army america had when all these great generals on the same side
Yes we did. I guess growing pains happen in every generation. Thank you for watching. I appreciate you. Have a super day.
This is a beautiful video, Thank you for sharing. It saddens me tho NOT to be able to go into the Lee chapel, that Lee built as his tender at Washington and Lee University.
(I've visited there numerous time. It's Beautiful!! And Amazing.)
The Robert E. Lee and George Washington are cousins. And Washington had served with his cousin Lighthorse Harry Lee (Robert E. Lees' Father) during the American Revolution.
Mrs, Mary Custiss - Lee was Martha - Randolph - Custiss - Washingtons' great grand daughter. And Mrs. Mary Lee had grown up in the Arlington House and Plantation with George Washingtons' presence.
The one thing Mrs. MARY CUSTISS LEE never got over was the Looting that the Union Troops had done while they occupied the Arlington house: The Union Troops held an auction at the Arlington house and invited dignitaries from England: Auctioning off numerous George Washington Revolutionary War military and Family heirlooms. With the English dignitaries purchasing numerous pieces and taking them back to England. That the Lee's were never able to Recover.. Mrs. MARY CUSTISS LEE was heart broken. And often cried about it, to her death.
Virginians are kin.
One time that I visited, was shortly after they had built the Mausoleum in the back of the Chapel were
Robert E. Lee and his family are entombed.
But I was over whelmed with joy to see, that in front of Robert E. Lee and his families crypts' floor was layered with numerous fresh, red Rose's today! Lest We forget this man and his Familys' sacrifice for this countrys' LIBERTY!
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 they were all great men may Robert E. Lee , Stonewall Jackson rest in peace.
A loyal and good man

Great video
Thank you very much for watching. Hope you subscribe and enjoy more to come. I appreciate your comments. It was alot of fun to make.
I´ve been to Lexington many times including visits to Lee Chapel, VMI, Washington & Lee University, and Stonewall Jackson´s grave. Our cousin lived in Lexington, and owned a boarding house across the street from the cemetery main entrance. You failed to mention Stonewall Jackson´s home located in Lexington as well. My mother´s family comes from Virginia, and dates back to 1620 Jamestown.
It’s just a beautiful city. So much history. ❤️
Thank you for watching and stopping by our channel. Have a blessed day.
There is a splendid memorial to a Confederate Colonel in Edinburgh Scotland.🏴🇨🇦
It's good to see these things. I studied both these guys when I was young. I hope they don't tear down all their memorials
I pray they never do. History is to important to erase. Thank you for watching. ❤️
Interesting video, thank you.
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!
Did you mention his sons were buried around the perimeter of the statue? From the dates it looks to be maybe his grandchildren being that one served in World War II?
Lee is buried at the chapel at Washington and Lee college
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
Thank you for sharing your video. God bless the founding fathers and European race 🙏👌
I feel like you suffer from CPTSD. Maybe take a short self assessment.
He misspoke. Robert E. Lee's grave is not at VMI, but is located beneath the University Chapel and Museum at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. Stonewall Jackson’s gravesite is located in the Oak Grove Cemetery in Lexington, Virginia. The cemetery was originally known as the Presbyterian Cemetery, but was renamed in 1949 as the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery after the Confederate general, who was buried there in 1863.
Can you go to Jefferson Davis resting place please
Thank you for your suggestion. I will research it and see if we can fit it in. Make sure you subscribe for more content.
Lee was from one of the wealthiest families. His true home is above the Arlington Cemetery in Washington D.C. In fact the land was really part of his estate pre 1861
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.
I was really quite disappointed that we didn’t get to see the actual gravesites. Also, general lee from when I was told did not go back to Arlington because right in front of the house is where the Yankees soldiers were buried and that’s how it became Arlington national cemetery.
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.
Many many "Lees" are immigrate to Brazil after the end the secession War . Are founded two "colonias" here...Americana Citi and Santa Barbara do Oeste .
No video of Lee in repose?
Long live the confederate states and thier heroes
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
Lee designed the Chapel.
Wow thank you for that information. I’ve never knew that. Thanks for watching the video. Please subscribe if you like what you see. There’s plenty more coming my friend. I love history and military stuff . I appreciate your input. Have a great day.
I have visited this place and there is a wrought iron section if you know where to look that Stonewall Jackson was originally buried. God Bless Lee and Jackson. When this country gets common sense back and this woke crap evaporates the board members will have egg on their face. I do want to thank you for putting this on your podcast ...
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.

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

My cousin who is buried in Lee's summit Missouri is buried right behind Cole younger
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.
The first time I went to Lexington Virginia 1988 then 1997 I was wondering why you didn't go inside the church to see the Robert E Lee and family and Stonewall Jackson horses at VMI Museum God bless you my friend thank you for the video and God bless the South I'll never forget my ancestors that served with Stonewall Jackson and was wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville May 2nd 1863 return to service January of 64 present at Appomattox he served with the 12th North Carolina
The inside is be renovated. No access at this time.
How come they don't make a movie about their life?.. or G. Washington !
They have. Research them.
Hey, guys ( and gals?).
Surprised, they didn't move Robert E Lee's gravesite to his house.
Yeah. He has a nice spot with family all around. Lee chapel is pretty awesome.

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.
40K - wow!!!!!!!!
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.
First let me mention that I am a direct descendant of a guy from Georgia who fought in the Army of Northern Virginia. My ancestor was in Company A of the 21st Infantry Regiment and he was from Climax, Georgia. A lot of my ancestors on both side fought in units from Georgia and Alabama.
That said I am also a retired USAF officer and an amateur historian.
Did the author say that Arlington was Robert E Lee's family home? Actually he was born in Alexandria, Virginia and didn't have much of a family home. He mainly grew up in a relative's home, a Fitzhugh house. Arlington is the Custis family home, his wife's family. Robert E had retired from the US Army and was living there at the start of the Civil War. The US did try to compensate the Lee and Custis families for the seizure of Arlington but that money was not accepted.
There is some interesting video here but the whole thing wanders around and has an abrupt start.

Thank you and God Bless every last member, of you family for their service.
what would America be today if the SOUTH Would have WON!!!!!! 👍
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.
Jackson didn't have any sons who survived birth. He had one daughter.

I did not know that I found out that I was watching a show about Union Army and the Confederate it was on history Channel my family in England help out the Confederate on guns and bombs did not know that what a history
Very cool history.

Thank you Patman!! Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate you.
Shame they took down Jackson statue at VMI. Political correctness gone too far.
Yes I agree. VMI has changed a bit.
And jwb was a patriot LOL
They can tear down the statues but they can't destroy the memory of men like Robert E Lee.
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.
