Arnold died of DROPSY in London, England on June 14, 1801. His last years were spent in poor health and poverty. Had he become America's most notorious traitor. He was a brilliant general who was responsible for the American victory at the critical Battle of Saratoga where he was seriously wounded (in the leg). He became a traitor to American becasue he was angry that the American government court-marshaled him because they thought her was using the Army's resources for his own personal use and he was in debt and the British payed him alot of money to become a British spy.
Part of him. Wether it was a leg or arm sent to Berwick is not known. nor is it known where said disembodied limb went to after being sent there. So while it was probably buried, it could as easily have been thrown in a midden.
Well she jumped really high and tried to touch a cloud, but she missed the cloud and accidently touched the moon. Then, she pulled out a chunk of it and bit it. It tasted rotten so she touched the Sun instead. She had severe burn injuries on he face and left arm up to her shoulder blade. She then jumped back down and hit a plane, leaving her with no leg. Abraham Lincoln, her long lost cousin from the future, then warped under her and caught her. She was okay. But later, she was stitching the American flag with Betsy Ross and pricked herself with the sewing needle. Her cat, Mitzie, then licked the blood, thinking it was food and died. Hannah Arnold was so upset that she jumped into The Death Star where she met Darth Vader. She said, "TIGER BLOOD" and jumped into outer space. She fell into the signing of the Declaration of Independence and signed her name with invisible ink. (By the way, her leg grew back as a horse leg) She later died of old age.
Well, there was no US at the time. Benedict Arnold was a general in the Continental Army. He was a good general, a good leader, and a hero at the Battle of Saratoga. So why did he do it? The most sensible explanation I have heard is that Arnold simply wanted to have Major John Andre framed as a spy. Arnold's wife was a Tory (a supporter of the British), and Major Andre was paying a little too much attention to her. Arnold used the defense plans for West Point to lure Andre, but the plan backfired when General Washington found out about it, and then Arnold had no choice but to change sides. Andre was hanged, something that Arnold apparently wanted anyway, but Arnold may not have planned on becoming a traitor to the American cause. He may have ruined himself with a personal act of revenge.
