Brigadier General Benedict Arnold was royally fucked with by local town politicians/aristocracy. Their manipulation between him and Washington made him (and probably a large stresser of the war) as well as General Gates taking credit for his ploys at Saratoga eventualy left him feeling "unappericiated" as well as the poor reports from the south at the time left him believing the American Cause was not achievable. At first I detested him but then after reading up on him, he was manipulated by other glory seekers and vengeful local aristocracy into making his rash descision.
