Presentation transcript:

Benedict Arnold Commits Treason Arnold (from CT) joined the army and distinguished himself at Ticonderoga and Saratoga. Despite successes, was passed over for promotions because other officers claimed credit for his accomplishments. Spent much of his own money on war efforts. Disgusted that colonies rejected a 1778 British proposal for self-governance and representation in the Parliament. Arnold changed sides and schemed to surrender West Point to the British but his plan was exposed. Arnold escaped and led British forces on raids against the colonies.

1780 Arnold was mad at America because others had been promoted over him, he had been court-martialed for miss-use of money, and hated the French who had become allies with America. Arnold became commander of Philadelphia in Arnold, 38, married a rich lady, Peggy Shippen, 18, who had been a close friend to British Major John Andre. She was used to a lifestyle Arnold could not afford. They soon ran out of money, and Arnold started using government supplies for his personal needs.
