Warren Lee's Philosophy

Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee met on April 9, 1865 at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. Both of these men were bringing a stop to the Civil War. The way Grant and Lee led their army were different from each other. Lee was a nobleman who fought hard for his Confederate men. Lee became a symbol for which his men were willing to die for. On the other hand, Grant grew up the hard way through the toughness beyond the mountains. Catton says “ These frontier men were the precise opposites of the tidewater aristocrats”. Grant and Lee represented two different sides of the so called American life. Though having different personalities and beliefs, both Grant and Lee are actually quite similar. They are tremendous fighters who only want one thing--to

“Grant and Lee: A Study in Contrasts,” written by Bruce Catton compares and contrasts the characteristics and lives of two leaders of the Civil War. Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, two very strong and very different generals, met on April 9, 1865 at Appomattox Court House in Virginia to bring to a close the Civil War. By this time, America had become a country that was starting over with the simple core belief in equal rights for everyone.

“I think you never out grow your love of these stories of giants, ogre and witches, super heroes’ comics give you that for older people.”

What do you think Dr. Martin Luther King’s moral theory was? He states, “We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom” but what is he moral decree? Perhaps he is a deontologist, a utilitarian, or a virtue ethicist? After reading “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, one may conclude their opinion on what moral action he stood by. Philosophy in moral theory is unique, because it helps draw the line for individuals to understand what actions are morally right or wrong.

1775-1783 Revolutionary wars and two opposing generals.Grant and Lee two generals in the revolutionary war in the United States, very different, but had several similarities. Both generals for the United States army embodied their views on equality and had their own separate differing opinions.Lee was from Virginia and had old aristocratic concepts in mind and Grant, a Westerner, son of a tanner modern man.

Mike Anderson’s has been one of Baton Rouge’s premiere restaurants for over forty years. In 1975, Mike Anderson, a former LSU all American football player, opened Mike Anderson’s seafood restaurant with the hope that customers would “leave full and get their money’s worth”. He has been very successful to say the least, now with four different locations. The restaurant boast of its reputation for having the best fried and broiled seafood around town. When asking Michael Pearl, a manager at Mikes for over thirty years, what has kept Mike Anderson’s in business for so long, he said “consistency and excellence, this is a place that loves to make people’s day better” (Pearl Interview). It was remarkable to see a manager who has worked somewhere for thirty years still take pride in his job. After working there for about a year, I decided to finally give it a try. I have to admit, I’ve always thought Mike’s was just another seafood restaurant in south Louisiana, but was I wrong! Mike Anderson’s proved to be a wonderful dining experience. For starters, the quality and taste of the food is superb and it comes at a very reasonable price. Secondly, I noticed the warm and inviting atmosphere from the second I walked in. Lastly and most importantly, what stood out to me the most was the quality of service throughout the meal.

In life we all want to see things as black and white, cut and dry, and easy to understand. This is not the case with Robert E. Lee. He was smart, loyal and above all, complicated. We like to make him out as some old general guy who fought for the South in the Civil War. Eventually lost at Gettysburg and because it was the turning point of the Civil War; he became famous for losing. He is a lot more than just that. He was an actual person who, from his birth up to his death, dealt with real life situations.

He believes in the core values of the company, and his leadership style reflects them throughout the store.

In “The Changes Wrought by Cotton, Transportation, and Communication” by Daniel Waker Howe, the author discusses how the decades following the War of 1812 were marked by a, “communication revolution” (232) that led to an expansion in transportation, communication, press, and the market economy.

“From little acorns grow mighty oaks”, my grandmother used to tell me before she passed. Her meaning behind it was due to the branches of our family tree originating from the trunk of none other than Robert Edward Lee. This saying is a part of his legacy that lives on today that helps people like myself and others to strive for a better tomorrow for all that he willed for. Robert E. Lee is one of the larger-than‑life figures in American history, and a key figure at a defining period of that history. Lee commanded the Army of Northern Virginia during most of the Civil War and his brilliant battlefield leadership earned him a reputation as one of the greatest military leaders in history as he consistently defeated larger Union armies. Lee was

General Robert E. Lee was born in Virginia on January 19,1807. In our history he is one of the most significant generals America has had. Robert viewed himself as a Virginian first over everything else, and an American second. In his eyes Virginia represented love, honor, family, and the gentleman ideal. Although, he disagreed with succession and knew slavery was immoral he initially decided not to fight in the war. He was completely loyal to his home state and it was not until Virginia was invaded that Lee chose to fight in the Civil War. Robert E. Lee was a man of principal and he fought for what he believed in. He would always be loyal to Virginia.

Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant fought each other in the bloody Civil War, and they were respected generals and public figures. They shared some common values. For example, both Lee and Grant did not fight for violence, but they led armies to end the county’s fight against itself and bring peace back to America. Lee and Grant were also known for their military strategies that earned the Confederate and the Union numerous battle victories. On the other hand, they each had very different backgrounds that made up their value system. Lee's family represented a past era of knighthood and English squires. Grant, however, grew up beyond the mountains, and he became independent and self sufficient. Lee believed in a class society with inequality.

“The education of a man is never completed until he dies.” This was said by the wise man, Robert E. Lee, an American and Confederate soldier. Though he was best known as a commander of the United States Confederate Army. He was a strong man in his works of war, “It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.”, said Lee. But he was also strong in his faith and Christianity, “In all my perplexities and distresses, The Bible has never failed to give my light and strength.”

While both Lee and Grant were two daring, resourceful, and leaders during the Civil war, they're opposing upbringing in beliefs results in similarities and differences between the two generals. To start off, their upbringing is vastly different. Lee was brought up with the ways of chivalry and knighthood. In contrast, Grant was brought up the modern age of steel and machinery. In addition, Robert E. Lee fought for a society that could endure anything but change, while in contrast, fought because everything he lived by was tied to growth, expansion and a constantly rising horizon. However, they also have some similarities. For example, both generals have been described as " the perfect champion for his cause, drawing both his strengths and

Lee has been charged with being too bloody-minded, of fighting on even when he must have known that his cause was lost. Viewed realistically, this was certainly true; but what the mind knows, the heart cannot always accept. Lee was not alone in failing to admit defeat in a cause to which he was emotionally attached. He fought to the bitter end, and that end came on April 9, 1865, when he surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse in
