Benedict Arnold, once a celebrated American Revolutionary War general, became infamous for his betrayal when he attempted to surrender West Point to the British in 1780. After his treason was uncovered, he defected to the British side, where he was given a commission and fought against his former compatriots. Following the war, Arnold lived in exile in Britain and later moved to Canada, where he struggled financially. He died in 1801, largely viewed as a traitor and reviled in American history.
