Years: 1780 - 1780
Benedict Arnold has meanwhile grown disenfranchised with the war, and the American general conspires with the British to surrender the key American fortress of West Point.
Arnold's plot is foiled upon the capture of his contact, John André, and he escapes to British lines in New York.
Though Arnold's reasoning reflects Loyalist opinion, Patriots strongly condemn him.
