Why did benebict Arnold become a traitor?
Benedict Arnold became a traitor because he did not agree with America.He was a great general and will always be remembered. Benedict Arnold was dissatisfied with his treatment by the Congress and other army officers, feeling he was not getting the recognition he deserved for his part in major battles, like the one at Saratoga. He then approached the British with a plan to turn over the American fort at West Point, New York to the British. West Point was extremely important to the colonists because it commanded the Hudson River and prevented British warships from sailing down from Canada and cutting the New England colonies off from the rest of the colonies. When the plan was found out, he escaped to England and became an officer in the British army. At Saratoga, Arnold had played a major role in the winning of the battle and was even wounded in the leg. Horatio Gates took the honors though. Later, a comment was made by colonial soldiers about Arnold to the effect that if they ever caught him,he would be hanged as a traitor but that the leg that was wounded at Saratoga would be cut off and buried with full military honors. He was considered a traitor in 1779.

What were george washingtons weaknesses?
George Washington Carver worked very hard to get his education and become a respected scientist. He took a job at Tuskegee Institute under Booker T. Washington. Teachers at the school were asked to take on additional roles, to save money. Carver was a great scientist, but a terrible administrator. He would become very angry and very pompous when he was either questioned about either paperwork he had completed, or asked to give a report. He would submit a letter of resignation each month, only to calm down and come back to work.
