| Engraving of Arnold (Public Domain) |
Although his
name is now generally synonymous
with “traitor,” Arnold had once been
considered a hero. A lock of
his hair will be soon be displayed at Fort Ticonderoga,
a key site which he helped to
capture during the American Revolution.
Chris Carola
of the Associated Press tells us that “Arnold
went on to become one of the
Continental Army’s best battlefield
leaders.” So why the change of heart? When Arnold
was passed over for promotions that he
greatly deserved, he felt justified in turning
traitor.
There are
way more than two sides to every story.
