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]

As he confronted Arnold about his treachery, the British Army attacked West Point to conquer the position, but the Continental Army and Ratonhnhaké:ton fended off the attack. During the confusion, Arnold managed to escape, boarding a ship to Great Britain.[2]
