I love the stark series, you've posted a link to it before. I really dig the bits about Arnold (which I knew beforehand, it was just surprising to see them, most Americans know nothing more about Benedict Arnold than that he was some sort of traitor). It's a shame most Americans have no clue about what happened at Saratoga or how Benedict Arnold was belittled and ignored by his superiors, practically driving him to the Brits in Canada. He died untrusted by his new masters, and unable to ever go home again. It's a sad tale of an otherwise great man.
