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. He was a man who held his head up high, looked towards the future, and was determined to follow through with his ideas of a “new” American life.
