The Monument and the General

Nathanael Greene ended the day forced from the field by the British, though the fighting had not gone according to plan for either side. After an orderly retreat, Greene expressed disappointment in the battle’s results, but as reports came in it became clear that the British army had suffered severe casualties. Cornwallis and his weakened army then retired to the North Carolina coast, and the battle for Guilford Courthouse set the stage for Yorktown.
