"Grant and Lee: A Study in Contrasts" Question Responses

1. He uses point-by-point comparison.
2. Grant wanted the nation to grow and change from old classes. Lee, however, did not want change, and wanted the nation to live as they did in the past.
3. The two did want the nation to go in separate directions, but they both wanted what they thought was best for the nation. Through their battles, they proved that they both had will and determination. This showed that Americans from the north and the south had differing opinions, but had the nation's health in mind. This idea of a strong nation would live on.
4. We are in debt to Grant and Lee, because the differences of the north and south could have drove the nation apart. They understood this and met. Their meeting kept the nation unified.
5. The essay was not about the meeting that took place. The essay was about the similarities and differences between Grant and Lee.
