Benedict Arnold is a well-known person from the American Revolutionary War period because of his curious combination of honor and courage, on the one hand, and, on the other, dishonor and deception. He began the war as a dashing officer fighting for independence. Later, he attempted to betray his fellow Americans by offering war-secrets to the British and planning to switch allegiances altogether.
