Benedict Arnold

No other American is remembered quite the same as Benedict Arnold.

He was a brave soldier, a patriot- and a traitor. Benedict was born in

Norwich, Connecticut, on January 14, 1741. When he was 14 years old,

who like to ride around in their Mercedes and wear expensive clothes, even

to get married in 1774. But this marriage was short lived because the

next year Margaret caught a disease and died. When the Revolutionary War

but he was still angered that he was not promoted to a rank above the

Horatio Gates, and was relieved of his command. Despite his relief of

battles that we did. Yes, he was a traitor, but he was also one of the
