LESSON 14 - A Question of Honor - Benedict Arnold

BENEDICT ARNOLD - A question of honor
It is ironic that General Benedict Arnold was considered the greatest soldier in the Revolutionary War when he decided to become a traitor (i.e., Arnold changed sides and fought for the British instead).
Arnold led strategic victories at the Battle of Saratoga, Lake Champlain, Mohawk Valley, and Fort Ticonderoga with Ethan Allen.
After the war, Benedict Arnold lived his life in disgrace even after receiving more money from the British.
