Best Answer

Benedict Arnold began as a general for the American side of the war, but in September of 1780 he switched sides and became a brigadier general for the British. It is said that he was unhappy with his position with the American side and had little faith left in the country's future. During his plot to switch sides, he used his leadership to gain information that he then gave to the British.
