Benedict Arnold Part 2: Why Did He Lead the Attack to Destroy His Hometown?

In Part 2 of the 1800 phone conversation with Benedict Arnold he will share with us:

After the British left, what happened when Benedict Arnold offered to raise a huge loyalist army to take the colonies back.

And finally, which founding Father Arnold was ordered to capture and murder.
