Benedict Arnold: George Washington's Friend Turned Traitor

Benedict Arnold's name immediately conjures traitorous thoughts. This was not always the case. During the American Revolution, George Washington initially saw Arnold as a brave and highly capable officer, and he advocated Arnold's promotion to major general and placement in significant commands. A man of prickly temperament, Arnold viewed these advances as coming too slowly and with too little respect and rewards. He turned his attention to the British, commenced a clandestine correspondence, and hatched a plot to hand over the strategic post at West Point. The fortuitous capture of Major John Andre, Arnold's British contact, led to the plot's discovery before its fateful execution and Arnold's flight from his former Continental compatriots. The treason instantly converted Arnold to Washington's most hated enemy and began persistent but ultimately futile efforts to secure and hang the traitor.
