history. Although I’m sure that a lot of people wouldn’t want the kind of

fame he received. But without him, our country wouldn’t have won all the

battles that we did. Yes, he was a traitor, but he was also one of the

best generals we had. But how do we know that he betrayed our country

just our of anger? The history books say that he was deeply in debt, and

he did have a wife and children. When we think of Benedict we tend to

just look at the worst parts of his life. His first wife died, but he

pulled himself out of grief and got on with his life. He married again

and had children. If he was in debt, then he couldn’t pay for the things

that his family needed. Maybe he betrayed our country so that he could

use the money that he would get from the British to pay for the things

that he wanted to be able to give his family. We saw how Paul Revere

twisted things around with the Boston Massacre and now most of us know

believe that the firing on an innocent crowd. That’s what I believe the

case is with Benedict Arnold. There’s more to the story than we know.

Benedict wasn’t pure evil, as we make him out to be sometimes. But

unfortunately we can’t go back in time and see what really happened, so

now we’ll just have to rely on what we believe to be the truth.
