"But" is used like "and" to join sentences, but it implies that there is a contrast between the two clauses. It suggests that there is something surprising in the second clause relative to the first. "And' is neutral -- merely supplies a link.

Example: Ed is the center on the football team and he is from New York.

Sam is the center on the football team but he only weighs 150 pounds.
