In this episode of America’s Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano tells the riveting story of Nathaniel Greene, the self-taught military genius who defied his Quaker pacifist upbringing to become one of George Washington’s most trusted and effective generals. Often overshadowed by flashier names, Greene's Southern Campaign was the quiet turning point of the American Revolution that bled British forces dry, forced Cornwallis to retreat, and set the stage for ultimate victory at Yorktown. Discover how a man of peace became a reluctant warrior, and why his brilliance remains one of the most underappreciated pillars of American independence.
