Question

Explain how Lee and Grant were similar

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey!!

Explanation:

The biggest similarity is that they were both great civil war generals. They had a great deal of passion for what they were fighting for. They both wanted to preserve the Union but it was inevitable that the North and South would soon engage in war. General Lee and General Grant both fought in the Mexican War.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanations:

Yes, they were both great civil war generals. Lee was on the side of the confederate while Grant was on the side of the USA. They were both great military leaders, to the point where they started predicting each other's tactics correctly. An example of this was a battle in Gettysburg (sorry if the spelling is wrong).

Not related to the battle of Gettysburg: Grant also even used his superior number of soldiers to attack Lee's soldiers head-on. However, Lee also knew he had little troops and used many clever tactics to outsmart Grant yet due to the superior numbers, he surrendered as there is no point in moving on.

Overall, these 2 generals had great tactics and a lot of passion for their side and showed respect to each other in battle as when Lee surrendered, Grant told his fellow compatriots to stop cheering to show respect to Lee.
