To the British, the rebellious American colonists were traitors. Having become accustomed to autonomy during the early 18th century, the colonists had developed a sense of communal nationalism that outweighed whatever loyalty they still felt to Great Britain.

One famous American general who turned on his fellow colonists during the war was Benedict Arnold, and his name has become synonymous with betrayal.
