    This large monument is located in Johnson Square in Savannah. It was built to honor Revolutionary…read moreWar hero Brigadier General Nathanael Greene. Green was born in Rhode Island on August 7, 1742. He was a Quaker which is a pacifist religious denomination. He advocated independence from Britain and set aside his religious beliefs to set up a militia in Rhode Island when it looked war with Britain was eminent. His service in the 1776 Seige of Boston was noticed favorably by George Washington who gave Greene command of Boston after the British fled. Greene went on to fight in the battles of Trenton, Brandywine, and Germantown. Washington appointed him as commander of the southern forces of the American Continental Army during the American Revolution. He was instrumental in getting the British out of the south by directing Anthony Wayne's campaign in Georgia and aiding Colonel Henry Lee's revolutionaries in Georgia. The Mulberry Grove Plantation located north of Savannah was granted to Greene in thanks for his service. Greene County Georgia was named in his honor on February 3, 1786. Nathanael Greene Park in south Savannah was also named for him as is many other places in Rhode island. Nathanael Greene passed away on June 19th, 1786 from heatstroke while riding his horse. He was second in command to George Washington and Greene and Washington were the only two generals to serve the entire duration of the American Revolution. Greene was so revered by George Washington that he came to visit his widow at Mulberry Plantation upon Greene's death. Greene was buried in Colonial Cemetery but during the Civil War his grave was desecrated. His remains were later found in the Graham vault and interred in 1901 below this monument along with the remains of his son. The Egyptian obelisk monument to Greene was designed by William Strickland who took his design from Cleopatra's Needle. The foundation of the monument was laid by Marquis de Lafayette on March 21,1825 and the monument was completed by Strickland in 1830. In 2018 Savannah was in an uproar when someone put googly eyes on the relief of Nathanael Greene on the base of the monument resulting in a comical appearance and no damage was done. This monument is very well known in Savannah. Ghost City Tours along with other city tours uses this monument as a meet up point.
