21 September 1780 - BENEDICT ARNOLD PLOTS TO BETRAY US CONTINENTAL ARMY:
General Benedict Arnold is dissatisfied with how his US Continental 
Army career has progressed and today meets with his ostensible enemy, 
British Major John André, to handover of his command, West Point, to 
the redcoats. His plot later exposed, Arnold's name will become a 
byword for treason or betrayal.
