In Bruce Catton's essay "Grand and Lee: A study in Contrasts," the author uses compare and contrast to highlight each general's different strengths, upbringing, and values. In addition to compare and contrast, describing aspects of their life provides better insight into each general's envision for the country. Both armies in the Civil War fought to preserve their way of life, and their purpose reflected the values of their leaders. But despite their differences, the two generals were able to meet together in Appomattox, bring peace, and reunify the country during a major turning point in our nation's history. Robert E. Lee believed in aristocratic ideals such as "family, culture, and tradition," and adopted the chivalry from "the age of Knighthood" in England. His main purpose for fighting was to preserve the polarizing social classes found in the Southern American states.

Grant and Lee I like the essay, “Grant and Lee” written by Bruce Catton, although I am not a political enthusiast reader. Inconsiderably, I hate talking about it and, more so reading about it.

Even though, I know so little about the changing aspects of political views on the eighteenth century, I can quite understand and identify how both generals…
