Nathaniel Greene started the American Revolution as a low ranking officer, but was promoted and eventually became one of George Washington's most reliable officers. He was in charge of defending Fort Washington from General Lee, but did not lose Washington's trust when the fort fell in 1776. He became Quartermaster General, but resigned from this post soon after when it became apparent that he was not able to agree with Congress over matters like supplying the troops.
He was commander of the Southern Department of the Continental Army. Before this, he was Quartermaster general when the Continental Army was at Valley Forge and when the British evacuated Boston, he was in charge of the city. He commanded the Hudson River Forts and was a major general who emerged from the war as George Washington's dependable officer.
Nathanael Greene served as a general for the Patriots in the American Revolution. He also served in the Rhode Island assembly.
