Prior to becoming a traitor, Benedict Arnold was a hero having been instrumental in the capture of Fort Ticonderoga, leading the American forces in the Battle of Saratoga and several other campaigns. He was considered one of the American's best and most ferocious commanders. Although treason is treason and Arnold was without a doubt a traitor for planning on turning West Point over to the British, he had a somewhat legitimate beef with the Continental Congress that led him to switch sides. Trump got nuthin'

Shoot Arnold's actions at Saratoga were so respected they built a monument to the leg he lost but omitted his name from the inscription.

I mean, seems fair to the leg. After all, it didn't change sides .

Without the leg, he was pushed to the other side more easy.

It's often said that if he had died at Saratoga, he would have been celebrated alongside Washington to this day. Funny how history had other plans.
