About this episode
Benedict Arnold is an energetic young man, but tragedy strikes his family at an early age. As a teenager, he feels the lure of military service during the French and Indian War. He becomes a prosperous merchant who dabbles in illegal smuggling as tension grows between the American colonies and the British Empire. After a series of taxes and the Boston Massacre, war looms on the horizon. Thanks to our sponsor, Simplisafe.
