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. In contrast, Lee was a Virginia man who believed in old aristocracy. “He was one of a body of men who owed reverence and obeisance to no one, who were self-reliant to a fault, who cared hardly anything for the past but who had a sharp eye for the future” (Catton 310).

    The Puritan faith varied greatly between its public and private members during the 17th and 18th century. Anne Bradstreet shows the private side of the Puritan faith in her poem and Jonathan Edwards shows the public side of the Puritan faith. Bradstreet was a very successful colonial poet during the mid to late 17th century, while Edwards was a Puritan preacher who led the Great Awakening about seventy years after Bradstreet, in the 1730s and 1740s. Bradstreet’s poem “Upon the Burning of Our House,” written in 1666, and Edwards’s sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” given in 1741, reveal the Puritan views on loving God.
