Of Benedict Arnold

“There has been unfolded at this place a scene of the blackest treason. I advise you putting the army under marching orders and detaching a brigade immediately this way.”

-- Alexander Hamilton

This is in response to the discovery of the Benedict Arnold scheme at West Point. This dispatch is sent to General Nathanael Greene.
