OTD in 1775 #American Revolutionary War forces led by General Richard Montgomery captured #Montreal with little resistance, but were defeated in December in the larger determinative Battle for #Québec when Montgomery’s army was joined by forces led by General #BenedictArnold arriving from Cambridge, Massachusetts. 🤔 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Quebec_(1775)

#BenedictArnold’s name was deliberately removed from monuments because it became #synonymous with #treason in the #UnitedStates.
The same fate awaits #Trump. #USPol #auspol #TrumpRegime

OTD in 1780 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_André British General John André was caught spying on the Continental Army in disguise. He pretended to be an American using a fraudulent passport provide by #BenedictArnold.
“André then tried to convince the men that he was an American officer by showing them the passport Arnold had provided to him. However, the suspicions of his captors were now aroused; they searched him and found Arnold's papers and the plans for West Point hidden in his stocking.” -
I need to make some space so I’m filling a new #storage tub to make room for newer #treasures.
The late #TimBowden’s book ‘One Crowded Hour’ returns to storage along with ‘#Traitor - A History of #Betrayal From #BenedictArnold to #DonaldTrump’ & my favourite #DVD ‘#GetCrazy’ - along with a few dozen DVD’s & couple of my old #iPadMini’s & older #iPads I’ve had sitting around #gatheringdust.
Bye guys! I’ll open you up again one day.😢

The concept of sedition and traitors in #American history goes back to #BenedictArnold and conflict with a foreign power (in this case, France).
“The Federalists believed that Democratic-Republican criticism of Federalist policies was disloyal and feared that aliens living in the United States would sympathize with the French during a war.”

Benedict Arnold was born on this date in 1741. His name has become synonymous with “traitor”, as he’s famous for switching sides during the American war of Independence. 10 facts about him:

#BenedictArnold was at one time a successful General in the Continental Army led by #GeorgeWashington. But after a loss in #Montreal, he #flipped loyalties and began sabotaging the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 military. When he was found out, he fled to the #UnitedKingdom where he retired in relative anonymity despite his infamy in the #USA to this day.
Oddly, after flipping his apparent loyalties to #Qanon (aka #Putin 🇷🇺 ) and weakening our #ArmedForces , #TommyTraitorville remains a Senator for #Alabama. 🤔

The good folks at @wikipedia are reminding us all that OTD in 1776 the American garrison near Montreal was surrendered by its commanding Brigadier General #BenedictArnold after losing the Battle of the Cedars to British troops, Canadian militia, and Iroquois warriors. 👉 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Cedars I have a feeling that #Wikipedia will feature more LOSING and eventually TREASON by Benedict Arnold until #DonaldTheDeplorable is put in the ‘dustbin of history’. 🤔

Excellent post on DailyKos about the Battle of Saratoga and why Zelensky chose it to call out in his speech to congress. Included is some unexpected heroism by history's greatest traitor, Benedict Arnold. #Ukraine #RevolutionaryWar #Saratoga #BenedictArnold #Zelensky
