The TRUTH about An American Traitor : Benedict Arnold - Christories | History Lessons - ep 22

This week on Christories, we're talking about the AN AMERICAN TRAITOR Benedict Arnold! Benedict Arnold was an American military officer during the Revolutionary War. He achieved early success and was a hero at the Battle of Saratoga. However, feeling unappreciated, he turned traitor in 1780 and conspired to surrender West Point to the British. His plan was foiled, and he fled to join the British Army. Benedict Arnold's name is now synonymous with betrayal in American history. DO YOU THINK HE'S A TRAITOR? OR DID HE HAVE TO DO WHAT HE HAD TO DO!!?? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BABES! 🙌

About tree fiddy

[@mvic81818]

You sir have quite possibly the best, most interesting and funniest videos concerning history on all of KZbin (or any other platform for that matter). This is a topic that most people have little interest in and even more limited knowledge of. However you make the experience not only fascinating but fun. It’s such an important topic that we should have at least a basic understanding of so seeing videos like these that I know will get many who never took an interest before to begin wanting to learn more is like a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the content.

[@Bluemudphoenix]

Yes! Love it. More Christories!

[@chrisdcomedy]

YASS BABES! KEEP SHARING!

[@DavidHolland-d2j]

I’m a direct descendant of Benedict Arnold. The fact one of my favourite comedians made a video about him…. Fuck yes!!

[@KevinGSmith-mi8js]

Hi, youre not the only one related to Arnold😊

[@KevinGSmith-mi8js]

His father could not handle loosing 3 young children who never saw adulthood no wonder he was an alcoholic! His military accomplishments were awarded to other people one of them got over run at the Battle of Camden! ....Washigton tried to bring Arnold back with a group of Washingtons men but it never happened! .....Arnold was lucky he escaped when he did UNLIKE JOHN ANDRE! Arnold was shot at twice during the American Revolution, his horse was shot from underneath Arnold!.....AND! Arnold was the 1ST Military OFFICER to command THE 1ST AMERICAN NAVAL FLEET!.....ARNOLD is distant cousins to General George Washington!.....I believe ARNOLD WAS LET GO by WASHINGTON!....If he wanted to capture Arnold he would have sent men after him! His young jeazzabelle wife came from a wealthy family!

[@inigomontoya619]

[@Sandbar-Flamingo]

Will you do an episode on The Moors? Please ☀️💙☀️

[@blohnnie7395]

[@joem9528]

Watch the series “Turn” by AMC. Great show and it shows Benedict Arnold well. You almost root for him/feel bad for him.

[@X35GG]

great ep

[@philliphayden2727]

Oddly I learned about Benedict Arnold in the mid 70s, and we did learn about his great victories before he became a traitor.

[@kklapp272]

Chrissy Dee Destefalopagus’ ChrisDoriez 🤷🏿 Encore!

[@Barfinjoe]

I’m surprised Chris didn’t throw in “I’m going (going) back (back) to England” When Benedict Arnold flipped, missed a good opportunity there! Lol

[@hpensive]

Those farms are still there. Drive on that final stretch of back road between PA and Atlantic City...

[@dunnobagels]

Chris, its been long enough. Patreon isn't going great. Its time to bring back History Hyenas if you and Yannis Pappushka can get along again 💜

[@loganG3158]

RETWEET!!! We need the boys back together ASAP

[@HeavyHeartsShow]

Yes!! Been waiting on another Ep Chistories...PLEASE keep 'em cumming ;)

[@kylenicholopoulos1327]

Hands down the G.O.A.T. If you've watched CD as long as I have you'd see the natural phenomenon of his comedy become something undescribable and amazing. I'll pay to watch Chrissy shit. "Write that down V. Pooptreon or OnlyBMs" 😉

[@iMertin90]

Let’s hear you do some history on a Scottish American man Love from Scotland

[@ironman4122]

🖤💛YAAAASSSS!!!👇🐰🕳🧔‍♀️🤟✌️

[@joecab1]

I love this series, esp the way you'll say some crazy shit without a reaction and just plow forward making people who are unfamiliar with you (or with comedy in general) wonder if you're serious

[@courtneyreeves8905]

[@toochangz]

Napoleons childhood friend Marmont, who became a Marshal and Duke, is the French version of Benedict. Ragusa in French came to = traitor. He was Duke of Ragusa

[@_bamba_4690]

[@jswizzal_]

I'm from southeast Texas. I live in western north Carolina now. The northeast is very interesting to me. The northern people period. It's different from the south.

[@wat4036]
