The unsuccessful plan to surrender Fort West Point to British General Clinton was developed by Brigadier General Benedict Arnold. Arnold, originally a hero of the American Revolution, plotted to betray the American forces by handing over the fort in exchange for money and a high rank in the British Army. His treachery was uncovered in 1780 before the plan could be executed, leading to his defection to the British side.
