What were Benedict Arnold's memorable quotes?

Answer 1

Benedict Arnold has very few verifiable quotations. Of these, potentially the most interesting is "Let me die in this old uniform in which I fought my battles. May god forgive me for ever having put on another", which was reportedly said on his deathbed.

Answer 2

Benedict has a few cool quotes. Some I have found:"Neglected by Congress below, distressed with the small-pox; want of Generals and discipline in our Army, which may rather be called a great rabble, our credit and reputation lost, and great part of the country; and a powerful foreign enemy advancing upon us, are so many difficulties we cannot surmount them." "Great numbers of Canadians... are determined to join us whenever we appear in the Country with any force to support them." "We have a wretched motley Crew, in the Fleet; the Marines the Refuse of every Regiment, and the Seamen, few of them, ever wet with salt Water." "If your great umbrage would care to meet my high dudgeon at 12 paces, I would be happy to entertain you at dawn." My name shall be carved in stone alongside the great traitors: Lucifer, Judas, and Arnold. [Facing the militia] All of Britain could not slay me. Can you lads?

"Let me die in this old uniform in which I fought my battles. May God forgive me for ever having put on another."

"What do you think would be my fate if my misguided countrymen were to take me prisoner?"

Answer 3

There is Patrick Henry, a Patriot, who exclaimed, ""Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" on March 23, 1775.

Answer 4

Benedict Arnold was a traitor. After being court-martialed in 1779, he told a British major named John Andre that he was ready to help him beat the Americans in the war.
