  2. 🎶 Don't get me wrong, you're a young man of great renown
    I know you stole British cannons when we were still downtown
    Nathaniel Green and Henry Knox wanted to hire you
    Yeah, to be their Secretary? I don't think so🎶. Im sad to say my knowledge of nathaneal greene is limited to the above verse of right hand man in the hamilton musical. Thank you for this. As an american i hate i wasnt taught this.

    Soo much hamilton musical tie ins!

  4. An ancestor served with Greene in the Carolina campaigns…One of the Scotch Irish volunteers. His name was Lindsey Carson and was the father of Kit Carson the famous westerner. Later, Lindsey served in the War of 1812 in MO and numerous Native American skirmishes.

  7. He proved to be a talented quartermaster. And then became an excellent combat commander.

    The Southern Campaign is a textbook example of “you can lose the battles, but still win the war in the end.”

  12. I live in NC born in Greenville SC. My mother was born in Ninety Six a small town mostly forgotten now. Great video on people who risked all they had and the hangman’s noose so we could have our freedom.

  14. This is the great man that my hometown was named after! Greensboro, NC! They have a nice historical park in Greensboro dedicated to the battle of guilford courthouse. It’s a must see if you love history.

  22. Do one on Peter Francisco "The Portuguese Giant" of the American revolutionary war. He was 6'8 tall monster of a man who allegedly saved an 1100 pound cannon during a battle by shouldering it. He carried a six foot broadsword into battle.

  29. Maybe that is why the siege of Fort Cornwallis or Fort Augusta isn't as well know. Elijah Clark pushes the loyalists forces out before Greene shows up. And Ninety Six gets the glory even though it's the 2nd fort conquered

  30. I’m in the Air Force stationed in Goldsboro North Carolina. For about a year I’ve been wondering who in the hell all these cities around here have been named after. (Greenville, Greensboro Etc) Then I saw this video pop up and it all clicked. 😂
