"Gave" is not to be taken here as handed it over - the land of the Lees had been confiscated during the Civil War.
for non-payment of taxes...... a rule had been made that taxes could only be paid by the landowner IN PERSON.
Mrs. Lee was behind Confederate lines and could not pay in person. She provided the tax money due to another to pay with, but the money was rejected and Arlington Home seized.
