http://www.circavie.com/timelines/2bc297d9-ef9d-5405-88b3-77b41bb6f0e5#For my I am project, I selected not a common person you could find in a ordinary childrens textbook. The person I chose to study about is Benedict Arnold, a general who was a big tribute to American revolution. But after he was in debt, he decided to take a run. This involved betraying the rebels, so called patriots, and taking sides with the royal kingdom. Benedict Arnold was involved in several battles like the French and Indian war, battle at Saratoga, Quebec and more. His first fight was the French and Indian war which he joined at the age of 15 and to do so, had to run away twice from his home. Benedict was the sixth and last child of the Benedict house. With his first wife, he gave birth to three sons and with his wife in London gave birth to five sons and a daughter. After Arnold moved took sides against his nation in 1780, he did not receive much honor as he did previously, and after the war he moves permanently in England. Not much is known of his life in England but is recorded that he died of dilirium. Benedict Arnold is still an honored man in the 21st century since his tribute in the American Revolution played a big role to the formation of the nation called "The United States." During my research, in my mind I thought of questions which confused me were obvious questions which I could come to a question. But one question I believe that no one could answer except Benedict Arnold was this.


 * Would the United States gain its Independence without the victory at Saratoga without the leadership of Benedict Arnold?
