Victory War Cannon

Could the case be made that Benedict Arnold was one of the greatest American heroes of all time?

He was involved in a plot, but he was trapped at West Point fighting a Guerilla war, surrounded and outnumbered with his knee shot out, recieving little help from the rest of the Continental Forces and trying to keep his wife alive, far away in Philadelphia. (totally occupied by British forces) He played a large part in rare, early victories at Saratoga and Ticonderroga. He also kept Major Knox from being captured while transporting the cannon to Boston by fighting a vicous battle at Quebec, where he recieves his crippling wound. What do you think? Was this plot just a way to keep what few men he had in New York, the men on the convict ships and his wife and family from being anhialated?

"Erected 1887 By
JOHN WATTS de PEYSTER
Brev: Maj: Gen: S.N.Y.
2nd V. Pres't Saratoga Mon't Ass't'n:
In memory of
the most brilliant soldier of the
Continental Army
who was desperately wounded
on this spot the sally port of
BORGOYNES GREAT WESTERN REDOUBT
7th October, 1777
winning for his countrymen
the decisive battle of the
American Revolution
and for himself the rank of
Major General."

This is the inscription on his monument at Saratoga. However his name appears nowhere on the monument. Benedict Arnold played a very important role during the early years of the American Revolution and it has been argued that the lack of commendations and rewards for his great successes was the reason he turned traitor. Today Benedict Arnold is known by the few as a great military hero, but to the many he is still labeled "Traitor."
