ROBERT E. LEE

UlYSSES S. GRANT

[Anonymous]

Grant was a Drunk who stumbled into power because he was one of the few Northern Commanders willing to throw away large numbers of Northern lives for the quick victories Lincoln was looking for.

Grant otherwise failed at his presidency and in his personal life due to corruption and bad habits.


Robert E. Lee by contrast is one of the most success full generals in American history. Holding off an army several times his own size for many years. Robert E. Lee was also a respectable and high status individual that spent the rest of his life caring for his solders and was instrumental in bring peace. That might not otherwise have happened.

Grant was a Drunk.
*Lincoln said: "Whatever Grant is drinking, give it to my other generals."

He was one of the few Northern Commanders willing to throw away large numbers of Northern lives for the quick victories Lincoln was looking for.
*So was Alexander The Great.

@Dargil Alexander the great was not only strategically a better military leader, Alexander as a King in an era where life had little value was accepted as a despot Conquer. Who only lost favor when he adopted the cultural practices of their enemy.

Alexander regardless lead his men from the front unlike Grant, a feature that eventually got him killed.

The North's overwhelming numerical and industrial superiority guaranteed them victory if their president was just willing to wait for the military to assemble such forces locally before attacking.

Instead Lincoln demanded his generals charge in allowing the Confederate army to slaughter them from well prepared positions. This is the same hasty and arrogance that led to the war in the first placed, and very nearly cost the north the conflict if they had not lucked out with a security breach in Maryland.

Lee was an aristocrat. Grant was a bloodthirsty Grunt. Like Patton.

Have you voted in the poll?

[Dargil]

[MisterWack]

President Ulysses S. Grant because he started as a US General and became a fine President. 🇺🇸

Same as our great President George Washington & President Dwight Eisenhower. 🍻 🦅

Robert E. Lee is a traitorous pig, America matters and the Confederacy matters not.

They're both highly flawed individuals with much to high regard for themselves. Grant was a corrupt drunk and lee was a parochial blowhard.

It's not the southern military people that deserve acclaim, It's their foreign diplomats in Europe & Latin America who gave them a fighting chance as long as they did

[Bricealan]

Well, Grant was a drunk, but the north did prevail

[exitseven]

Grant liked a good bourbon so I go with him.
