"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." - American Declaration of Independence

Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, Greensboro, North Carolina, is a memorial to the battle of Guilford Court House during American revolutionary war (war for independence, in other words). Though Americans lost this battle, it is considered to be a decisive factor in winning freedom. The statue in the picture is of Nathanael Greene, who led this battle, during American revolutionary war. The place Greensboro, is named after him in honor of his valor.

This particular battle has very close resemblance with the battle led by Pazhassi Raja in the forests of Wayanad, Kerala, against British (the advantage of high land and woods).

The park offers many walking trails to appreciate nature, photograph and to learn American History. Its a great place for enjoying the woods, taking a leisurely walk or for activities like jogging or cycling.
