Re: Benedict Arnold

He was an American war hero. If he hadn’t turned traitor, he would be an American legend. Instead, he felt slighted by the way his government treated him for his efforts in the war, and now he is an object of scorn and derision.

Actually Arnold turned traitor and then recanted, becoming a patriot again unlike the oathbreaking Washington and his traitorous slaveholding rabble (Arnold, unlike most of the Founding Fathers never owned slaves).

Depends what side of the table you’re on.
