Nathaniel Greene and Daniel Morgan


You might be asking yourself: who in the world are these two guys?” I was asking myself the same question when I first listened to those names. Both of them were commanders of the Continental army and they were very distinguished in their charges. Nathanael Greene came from the Greene family, which one was of the founders of Rhode Island. He was born on July 27,1742. He was Quaker and Quakers are peaceful people, therefore when they discovered that Nathanael was in the army the Quakers had to talk to him to clarify that business. Also Nathanael liked to read a lot, he used to save his money for buying books. Nathanael was one of Washington´s great friend. Greene proved to be a superb commander in the Continental Army.
Little is known about Daniel Morgan. His parents were immigrants, he was born on 1736 in New Jersey. Daniel Morgan is considered a hero as well as one of the greatest tactic man in history. His works in the Continental army contributed to the victory of the Patriots. Morgan was a great ally of Washington and also a man that Washington could trust. Both of these commanders played a key role in the success of the Patriots´. They were great wingmen of George Washington.
