Benedict Arnold

Colonel Benedict Arnold was an American army man who helped the Americans during the Revolutionary War. He and General William Montgomery led the troops to Montreal to defeat the British. To aid forces in Quebec, Arnold and his men went through the forests of Maine (which belonged to Massachusetts)and most of his men died. He went to Quebec and the battle became a failure, with Montgomery dead and Arnold wounded. After the war, leaders figured out Arnold was a traitor and gave information to Britain, which sot them victories. After his death, when someone betrays another, they say, "You're a Benedict Arnold."
