- chasil 4y agoNot many people know about Nathanael Greene either. He was also a brilliant general, instrumental in the defense of the South from Tarleton, leading to Yorktown. He also played a role in New York, saving us from disaster. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathanael_Greene https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathanael_Greene Had Benedict Arnold remained loyal, maybe he would have similar name recognition (which is not much).
- cafard 4y agoI've always assumed that various Greenevilles, Greenesboros were named after him. The Wikipedia entry for Greenesboro, North Carolina, says that it is.
