    When Catton says that Grant “was everything Lee was not” (310) he means that Grant and Lee were two very different people from the way they were raised to their views of American life. Grant was very tough and courageous, raised from in the western frontier.

When Catton said this he was trying to let the reader know that Lee had a more…
