American Minute with Bill Federer
August 30

He was once one of America's greatest generals.
During the Revolution, he captured Fort Ticonderoga with Ethan Allen, and defeated the British at Saratoga.
But it was on this date, August 30, 1780, that General Benedict Arnold conspired with General Clinton of Britain to surrender West Point for twenty thousand pounds.
When discovered, George Washington wrote:
"Treason of the blackest dye was yesterday discovered! General Arnold who commanded at West Point, was about to...give the American cause a deadly wound if not fatal stab...
Its discovery affords the most convincing proof that the Liberties of America are the object of divine Protection."
