A response to Anthony's accusation in her History of Woman Suffrage that Robert E. Lee banished his youngest daughter, Annie Carter Lee (1839-1862) during the Civil War because of her Unionist sentiments. The author explains that Lee protected his daughter by sending her away and did not bring her body home for burial as a tribute to the people who took care of her.
