Benedict Arnold: the name alone still echoes with betrayal. But behind the infamous label of “traitor” lies a story that’s far more complex, and far more human. Once hailed as a hero of the American Revolution, Arnold’s fall from grace was not a sudden plunge, but a slow unraveling of pride, frustration, ambition, and perceived injustice.
In this episode of History Shorts, we explore the dramatic arc of Benedict Arnold’s life, from his fearless leadership at Quebec and Saratoga to his covert dealings with the British and ultimate defection. Was Arnold merely a villain, or was he a brilliant, wounded patriot who felt abandoned by the cause he once gave everything to defend? You’ve heard the name. Now hear the story.
