Benedict+Arnold

Benedict Arnold by: John Gohn



He was born in Connecticut. Arnold has great military experience for the French and Indian war. When the Revolution started he was a very good and successful business man and he was a good captain in New Haven Militia. In the capture of Fort Ticonderoga in New York he got his leg wounded when he tried to capture Quebec Canada. In 1777 he played a key part in the defeat of the British in Saratoga, New York. He got really mad and really disappointed. George Washington and his generals went over to his house one day to have breakfast and then Arnold went upstairs mad and said to his wife I gotta leave i'm going over to the British side. His wife tried to protect him, George Washington found out and they got mad. In my opinion he didn't live the same life as he did when he was with the Americans. After the war he went on to live in England and then on to Canada. No one really didn't like him after he traded. When he was on the American side when the war was first started he was treated with respect loyalty and dignity. As the war went on he started loosing faith because the americans was loosing battles so much and Arnold was going towards the british because they couldn't be beat. And John Andre a person from the british coming towards his house or at his house most of the nights so Arnold can keep in touch with the british.. If John Andre was caught he will be held as a spy and be hanged. Thats Washington went to his house one day for breakfast.After the war when he moved to england he was hated so bad he barely had friends to talk to and hang out with.
