Original Note:
NNN. Per source: "McKinley [...] announced that the federal government would now begin tending Confederate graves since these dead represented 'a tribute to American valor.' The speech impressed many Southerners, who saw it as a grand gesture of reconciliation." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_Memorial_(Arlington_National_Cemetery)
