Benedict Arnold, the Revolution's Infamous Turncoat

This is an illustration of Benedict Arnold. Arnold was once one of the American army's most popular generals. But, in 1780, Arnold became angry that he wasn't as important as some other officers in the American army. So, he decided to leave the American army and join the British army. However, the british had very little use for him so in 1781, Arnold left the colonies for England with his wife, Peggy Shippen.
