Nathanael Greene Statue, Greensboro

The 22-foot tall statue of Nathanael Greene commemorates the Revolutionary War hero. Nathanael Greene, a Quaker, was appointed by Washington to command troops in the South during the American Revolutionary War. Greene led his troops in battles such as the Battle at Guilford Courthouse, which did not result in a victory, but did weaken the British military. Through Greene’s efforts he helped push the British towards surrender in Yorktown. Greensboro, the site of the Battle at Guilford Courthouse, is named after Nathanael Greene.
