Benedict Arnold : Why Did He do It?

Benedict Arnold was a member of our own Militia. He lead the fight of Ft. Ticonderoga, which the Patriots had won. It was an historic win for our country, but not as much for him. For you see, nobody on his own side treated him with the respect he deserved. Although his temper often made things awkward between him and his fellow army men , he mad the best of things. Most of the time, he would just ignore them, and hang out with some captured red coats in there jail cells. But he stayed loyal to his country. He then became appointed commander. But tragically, yesterday, after all of his tolerance of foolish happenings, that came to him, he resigned his commander post, yesterday, July, 1777.
This is a great loss for the continental army. We will long suffer from this extreme loss. This may cost us the war, but we must recover. We shall strategize until we have found the proper ways. Maybe he shall return, or maybe he shall not, but we still shall win.
