Answer:

In terms of military tactics, both men were bold, decisive leaders. Lee is generally more praised for his tactical approach to particular battles, especially Chancellorsville, while Grant tended to be a more methodical leader, relentlessly putting pressure on the Confederate armies in order to exploit the numerical and material advantages that the Union possessed. To what extent these differences in approach were dictated by strategic concerns, as opposed to personality, is an open question
