Answer 1

In Appomattox Court House, Virginia, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his 28,000 troops to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, effectively ended the American Civil War.

that's why they're remembered the most, because the last battle they fought marked the end of the Civil War. that's my guess on why their more popular than other generals.

Answer 2

They were both civil war generals and wanted to preserve the Union

Step-by-step explanation:

Grant and Lee both:

fought in the Mexican War

had tremendous passion for what they were fighting for

were stubborn and faithful.

Each was a risk taker.

rose to greatness in ability to turn to peace at the war's end.

behaved with enormous graciousness when they met briefly in Appomattox to finalize the South's surrender that led to peace.

Each man came from a different background. Lee's was backward-looking, aristocratic, and agrarian, while Grant represented the forward-looking perspective of the industrial North, but both were men of courage and conviction.
