Best Answer

He was considered a hero at battles in Saratoga, New York and Quebec, but he is remembered today as the greatest American traitor of the Revolutionary War. He conspired to permit a British takeover of the fort at West Point. He escaped to Canada and spent the remainder of the war as an officer in the British Army.
