History[edit | edit source]
In 1780, West Point was handed over to the Brigadier General Benedict Arnold. That year, Arnold planned his defection to the British Army with the promise of fortune and military rank. George Washington, hearing reports about Arnold's alleged treason from the Culper Ring, turned to the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton to investigate the matter.[1]
Arnold tried to convince Ratonhnhaké:ton of his loyalty to the Patriot cause, but the Assassin discovered his conspiracy with the secret British Major John André. As he confronted Arnold about his treachery, the British Army attacked West Point, but the Continental Army and Ratonhnhaké:ton fended off the assault. During the confusion, Arnold managed to escape, boarding a ship to Great Britain.[2]
