Was Benedict Arnold a patriot or loyalist?
Benedict Arnold was neither a loyalist nor patriot. It's been said he is a opprotunist, which basically means he switched sides. Although he was a govenor on the American side in the first place. But than he told the British Government that he would spy on America for them, than he did the same thing back to America. Benedict switched sides when he thought the other team was winning, which makes him an opprotunist. Sadly, didnt think about what would happen when both sides figured out what he was doing, and they were going to be he angry.
Why was benidict ardnold a traitor?
Well, there was no US at the time. Benedict Arnold was a general in the Continental Army. He was a good general, a good leader, and a hero at the Battle of Saratoga. So why did he do it? The most sensible explanation I have heard is that Arnold simply wanted to have Major John Andre framed as a spy. Arnold's wife was a Tory (a supporter of the British), and Major Andre was paying a little too much attention to her. Arnold used the defense plans for West Point to lure Andre, but the plan backfired when General Washington found out about it, and then Arnold had no choice but to change sides. Andre was hanged, something that Arnold apparently wanted anyway, but Arnold may not have planned on becoming a traitor to the American cause. He may have ruined himself with a personal act of revenge.

You cannot blame Muslims for everything. that is really really really wrong for people to do. People should not even be calling Muslims terrorist. I feel bad for the Muslims because they are consistently being called a "terrorist". I would not like it if someone kept calling me a terrorist, would you?
