Grant and Lee: A study in Personality and Generalship by J.F.C Fuller

I’ll be using this source to generalize the different characteristics shown between Grant and Lee not only as a General but as common man. Grant always found simple solutions and he never wanted to stand out. His clear thinking in stressed scenarios was the reason he was constantly being promoted. Lee was extremely modest and kind. He had a close connection with his army and he firmly believed in what he was doing. Lee valued his state over his country so coming from Virginia he made the decision to fight for the south.
