What did benadict Arnold do?
In the 1780s, Benedict Arnold and his son Richard work as land speculators in New Brunswick. He also owned a ship and traded with the West Indies, but mostly made a name for himself by buying up land and suing people at the drop of a hat. He moved to London in 1791, and outfitted a privateer during the French Revolution, continuing trade with the West Indies despite the increasing risk. In the Carribean during the invasion of Guadelupe, he was arrested as a spy but escaped by bribing the guards, and organized militias on British-controlled islands to protect them from French invasion. He died in debt in 1801, at the age of 60.

Washington was a young officer in the Virginia Militia during the time of the French and Indian War. In fact, in come circles, he is credited with starting the French and Indian War. Still, he distinguished himself in the retreat following the attack on Braddock's Expedition. He gathered the disorganized troops under his command, brought order out of chaos, and marched them to safety while fending off harassing attacks from the Native Americans attempting to pick off the Vanguard and the Rear Guard. Afterwards, he applied for a commission as an officer in the British Regular army and was rejected.

That is why, later, he was eager to strive for independence from the British Crown.
