納坦納耶‧格林出生，1742年7月7日
1781年，格林與英國皇家軍隊知名將領--康華里--開戰，他知道他得聰明點。格林是南方軍隊的總指揮，知道康華里的軍力比美國強很多，當對方兵力明顯優於我方，這個仗該怎麼打？聽過「分散攻擊」嗎？
納坦納耶‧格林從不同的兩個區域，分散攻擊的方式，從兩個方向同時攻向康華里的大軍，拜計畫奏效所賜，英軍從南卡羅萊納州的卡本，退到查爾斯敦。是年稍後，康華里就向格林的好朋友，喬治華盛頓投降了。
In 1781, Nathanael Greene fought the famous British General Lord Cornwallis. Greene knew he had to be clever. He was commander in chief of the southern army, but he knew that Cornwallis had far more soldiers than the Americans. How could he fight an army that was bigger than his own and expect to win? Ever hear the phrase "divide and conquer?"
General Greene forced Cornwallis's troops to split up and fight in two different areas at the same time. Thanks to Greene's plan, the British retreated from Cowpens, South Carolina, to the city of Charleston, South Carolina. Later that year, General Cornwallis surrendered to Greene's good friend, General Washington.
