After Benedict Arnold was caught in 1780 while attempting to surrender West Point to the British, he managed to escape and joined the British Army. He was branded a traitor by the Americans and became a general for the British, fighting against his former comrades. Arnold faced significant disdain and distrust in both America and Britain, and he lived the remainder of his life in relative obscurity, eventually settling in London, where he died in 1801. His name has since become synonymous with treason in American history.
