Benedict Arnold
One of the most talented American generals of the Revolutionary War, Arnold played a decisive tactical role at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777, leading the charges that broke Burgoyne's army. His subsequent defection to the British in 1780 after feeling sidelined and unpaid made his name synonymous with betrayal, overshadowing his considerable military contributions to the American cause.
