Synopsis:
His name is synonymous with treason, but this cinematic documentary shows that Benedict Arnold's heroic contributions to American Independence far outweigh his later change of allegiance.
Benedict Arnold is one of the most notorious American traitors. New facts and never before presented material illuminate his heroic contributions to the American Revolution and provide insights to the reasons for his later change of allegiance. Political and personal upheavals shaping the founding are revealed through Arnold's experiences. For the crucial first three years of the Revolution Arnold's battlefield heroics foil British invasions. Then his idealism is shattered by self-serving political and military leaders. He feels betrayed by the cause he had joined for the principles of an egalitarian society. Instead he encountered an arbitrary system of personal favoritism and cronyism. He had lived up to the ideals of the Declaration of Independence while others had not. He concludes the Revolution had taken a bad turn and Americans would be better off under British rule.

20 years ago in American history, a test question: Who was the greatest hero of the Revolutionary War? My answer was General Arnold. After explaining to my teacher why I answered the way I did. He changed the answer from General Washington to both Washington and Arnold.
Benedict Donald won’t even be remembered as kindly as Arnold is
Would have been considered one of the greatest of American generals of “All Time” if he would have just died at Saratoga
He put himself above the cause.
There are times I feel the way Congress treated Arnold is the way they are treating us now! Another " A Cry in the Wilderness" that fell on deaf ears.
A most enjoyable,informative,unbiased documentary.
There is no doubt in my mind that Benedict Arnold was one of the greatest generals in the revolutionary war he was treated Miss badly and the not very well appreciated in this time but now I think that we can sit back and say general Arnold was one of the greatest generals of the revolutionary war when you got clowns surrounding him
I call myself a history nerd, but I learned new things from this! And I LOVE it. I like how they point out that Benedict wasn’t just acting like a spoiled brat, but that he also was probably considering his social status in the context of his children’s present and future lives! A small-time officer can’t earn, can’t schmooze, can’t marry kids off to safe, secure matches that will add to the prestige of his name - that he’s been trying like hell to refurbish after his dad’s mess.
I don't buy the premise here that Arnold was without blame or driven to it. Certainly he wasn't always treated right but betrayal for personal gain is traitorous. What is more he was doing it in secret. Hardly the actions of someone who was doing it out of virtuous motives.
sympathy for benedict arnold
best general you ever had.....before Paton
There was no VA back then and I find it quite honorable that Arnold used his own money to help his troops.
Ill-used and wrongly maligned because of it.
The narration is outstanding.
Why is there a thumbnail of General Howe on a Benedict Arnold vid??
I think that the idea Benedict Arnold is just now catching on to the general public we who have worked in history for years no the Arnold was a great general
I saw this video and I got exited because I thought it was about William Howe, as for the cover being a picture of General Sir William Howe.
The Loyalist town in Canada Arnold retreated to with his wife after his tumultuous military career was Saint John, in the province of New Brunswick.
How did the boat get there? Seems suss to me.
A great hero.
