ROBERT E. LEE - WikiVidi Documentary
Robert Edward Lee was an American and Confederate soldier, best known as a top army commander of the Confederate States of America. He commanded the Army of Northern Virginia in the American Civil War from 1862 until his surrender in 1865.

Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia - 4K
The historic town of Old Town in northern Virginia, just a few miles from Washington DC, was once a frequent social destination for America’s founders. George Washington, whose primary Mount Vernon residence is located roughly a 20 minute drive south of Old Town, owned a townhouse here and was a depositor at a local bank. Old Town was also once a major slave trading hub.

Gadsby's Tavern
Acquired by John Gadsby in the late 18th century, this tavern was frequented by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, James Monroe, and Marquis de Lafayette.
Carlyle House
Completed in 1753, this Georgian manor was home to John Carlyle, a wealthy British merchant, friend of George Washington, and a founder of the city of Alexandria, Virginia.
Bank of Alexandria
In 1792, the Bank of Alexandria was authorized by the General Assembly of Virginia, the legislative body of the commonwealth of Virginia, making it the first financial institution authorized by the state.
George Washington, a frequent visitor to Old Town, was a depositor and stockholder of the bank.
Wise's Tavern
On February 4, 1789, George Washington was unanimously selected president of the United States, receiving all 69 electoral votes. Congress counted the votes and confirmed his victory on April 6th, 1789. And on the morning of April 16, 1789, Washington began the journey from his Mount Vernon home to New York City, then America's capital city. By around noon on April 16, 1789, Washington arrived in Old Town where he sat down for a (very) early dinner with the town's citizens at Wise's Tavern before continuing on his journey to New York where he would be sworn in at Federal Hall.
Washington's Townhouse
Washington used this home when he was in Old Town for business or social reasons and could not make it back to Mount Vernon.
Franklin and Armfield Slave Office
This building once housed the offices of Franklin & Armfield Co., America's largest slave trading firm from 1828 to 1836. Isaac Franklin and John Armfield used this building as a holding pen for enslaved Africans being shipped from Northern Virginia to a life of brutal subjagation in New Orleans, Louisiana or Natchez, Mississippi.
St Joseph's Church in Alexandria, Virginia
I was invited to my cousin's wedding at St Joseph's Church in the wondefully beautiful town of Alexandria in Northern Virginia.
I thought it was such a pretty church that I would share it with you. It was built in 1915 only a few blocks from where Confederate General E Lee spent his boyhood.
George Washington only worshipped a few blocks away and his army camped on the fields where St Joseph's now stands.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Robert Edward Lee (January 19, 1807 – October 12, 1870) was an American and Confederate soldier, best known as a commander of the Confederate States Army. He commanded the Army of Northern Virginia in the American Civil War from 1862 until his surrender in 1865. A son of Revolutionary War officer Henry Light Horse Harry Lee III, Lee was a top graduate of the United States Military Academy and an exceptional officer and military engineer in the United States Army for 32 years. During this time, he served throughout the United States, distinguished himself during the Mexican–American War, and served as Superintendent of the United States Military Academy.
When Virginia declared its secession from the Union in April 1861, Lee chose to follow his home state, despite his desire for the country to remain intact and an offer of a senior Union command. During the first year of the Civil War, Lee served as a senior military adviser to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Once he took command of the main field army in 1862 he soon emerged as a shrewd tactician and battlefield commander, winning most of his battles, all against far superior Union armies. Lee's strategic foresight was more questionable, and both of his major offensives into Union territory ended in defeat. Lee's aggressive tactics, which resulted in high casualties at a time when the Confederacy had a shortage of manpower, have come under criticism in recent years. Lee surrendered his entire army to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. By this time, Lee had assumed supreme command of the remaining Southern armies; other Confederate forces swiftly capitulated after his surrender. Lee rejected the proposal of a sustained insurgency against the Union and called for reconciliation between the two sides.
In 1865, after the war, Lee was paroled and signed an oath of allegiance, asking to have his citizenship of the United States restored. Lee's application was misplaced; as a result, he did not receive a pardon and his citizenship was not restored. In 1865, Lee became president of Washington College (later Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Virginia; in that position, he supported reconciliation between North and South. Lee accepted the extinction of slavery provided for by the Thirteenth Amendment, but publicly opposed racial equality and granting African Americans the right to vote and other political rights. Lee died in 1870. In 1975, the U.S. Congress posthumously restored Lee's citizenship effective June 13, 1865.Lee opposed the construction of public memorials to Confederate rebellion on the grounds that they would prevent the healing of wounds inflicted during the war. Nevertheless, after his death, Lee became an icon used by promoters of Lost Cause mythology, who sought to romanticize the Confederate cause and strengthen white suprema ...
