Nathanael Greene
b. 8-7-1742; Warwick, RI
d. 6-19-1786; South Carolina, sunstroke

Nathanael Greene, born a Quaker, rose through the ranks from militia private to a major general, and was so trusted by George Washington he was appointed to command the ‘southern army’. His Southern Campaign showed remarkable strategic features with his ability to divide his forces to succeed in eluding and tiring his opponent with long marches, and in actual battle forcing the British to pay heavily for a temporary advantage.

Greene's wife, Catherine Littlefield Greene, is arguably the inventor of the cotton gin.

Nathanael Greene quotes ~
• “We are soldiers who devote ourselves to arms not for the invasion of other countries, but for the defense of our own, not for the gratification of our private interests but for public security.”
• “We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again.”
