Talk:Nathanael Greene

message: Why is there an Ohio template for Greene? A statue is fine, but not enough for a template here. 
Also, I have tried to make the MILHIST importance as high, but it does not seem to work. I took a liberty and placed this section first. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:57, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Why has this page become such a target for vandalism?  How many times does someone need to change this article to make Greene gay?

message: Was he or was he not a member of the Rhode Island General Assembly? The section as written makes little sense: "In 1770 .. he was chosen as a member of the Rhode Island General Assembly, to which he was re-elected in 1771, 1772 and 1775. It is debatable that he was a member of the General Assembly since there is no mention of his participation in his personal papers and because there were several of his contemporaries with the same name from Rhode Island."
Perhaps whomever added the second sentence could add a citation or in some other way reconcile the contradiction. I don't have enough knowledge of the subject to do it. --Pergish1 (talk) 01:42, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Several articles state that Gen. Greene was responsible for construction of Fort Putnam, at the location of today's Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn. The article on Fort Putnam, however, states that Fort Putnam is at West Point. Was there more than one Fort Putnam? WCCasey (talk) 20:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

message: FYI, I removed a sentence from the militia section that stated, "It has been speculated that his zeal in attending to military duty led to his expulsion from the Quakers in 1773." I'm sorry if this was done in error, but I removed it because it seems unsourced, weasel-wordy, and unlikely. The preceding sentences mention his interests in military matters beginning in 1774.Firefangledfeathers (talk) 19:50, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I revised it...the RS are in agreement that is what happened. eg Kevin Phillips (1999) says "Would-be neutralism was the rule among Quakers and pacifist German sects like the Amish, Mennonites, and Moravians. ... general Nathaniel Greene, was a fallen-away Quaker, dropped from membership when he joined the militia."

message: This isn't a great source for the assertion that Greene was an enslaver. Perhaps some reference could be found from the Rhode Island Historical Society's The Papers of General Nathanael Greene? Procknow cites UNC's 1976 "Nathanael Greene, The Papers of General Nathanael (Volume VI, 93) in his 2017 article for the Journal of the American Revolution, "Slavery through the Eyes of Revolutionary Generals." Maybe that's a place to start.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.113.246.12 (talk) 18:00, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
