On the glorious battlefields of the American Revolution, two great generals distinguished themselves; George Washington and Benedict Arnold. Washington is remembered as America's founding father, Arnold as America's most notorious traitor.

He won brilliant military victories against the English colonists and was Washington's favorite soldier.
