The Legacy of Nathanael Greene

What Nathanael Greene accomplished in his two years in command of the southern Continental Army was nothing short of miraculous, especially considering his starting point. The army Greene inherited was in a shambles after the opening phases of the war and many saw little hope for the cause. His tactics were so effective that within six months of Greene taking command, Lord Charles Cornwallis moved his shrinking British army into Virginia and closer to his date with destiny at Yorktown.
Tom Hand, creator and publisher of Americana Corner, explores the legacy of Nathanael Greene and why it still matters today.

I was able to get off the highway and find the home of Nathaniel Greene in Rhode Island - preserved as a historic site. The same with Nathan Hale in CT. To protect their home and hearth, helped inspire these men to be patriots.
