Association of the Union contracted to buy tho
mansion and 200 acres for 100000. Through
the patriotic appeal Of the women and the
efforts of Senator Edward Everett Of Massa-
chusetts, who toured the country and raised
$6S29459, Mount Vernon was actually pur.
chased in 1860 for q shrine.
THEM the Washington family left the estate.
With breaking out Of the Civil War, Miss
Cunningham appealed to the commanders Of
both armies to preserve Mount Vernon. As
both Gen. Scott and Gen. Lee gave orders
that no armed man should enter the estate,
the shrine was self-protected, the only neutral
spot in the United States.
For several years members Of at least four
families Of the Mount Vernon slaves remained
to care Tor the place, in the employ of the
association. Some Of the children grew up
there and few of the adults stayed long
enough to gain the title Of "aunty" or uncle"
which was a typical Southern respect for an
aged Negro. For while after the war visitors
to Mount Vernon are said to have practiced
such vandalism that they wrote their names
over its walls and ceilings. Plaster was re-
moved by those who cut pieces Of laths as
souvenirs, and even glass was broken in the
cupola by those who wished to take away
pieces Of the famous home.
