Betrayal of Benedict Arnold - American Revolution Stories

00:00:59

During the Revolutionary War, American General Benedict Arnold plans to surrender the fortification at West Point to the British. His co-conspirator is British Major John Andre, who meets with Arnold on September 20, 1780, where he receives a map of West Point and George Washington’s war council minutes. When John Andre is captured by members of the New York militia, they discover the map and deliver the documents to Washington who orders Arnold's arrest. Arnold escapes after reaching the safety of the British lines. Washington offers the British the opportunity to save John Andre’s life by exchanging Andre for Arnold. The British refuse, so Washington orders Andre’s execution. As an officer, Andre requests an honorable execution by firing squad, but Washington denies his request. On October 2, 1780, John Andre hangs for the crime of espionage.
