The best thing about Benedict Arnold being a traitor

It spared us of having fifty Arnoldvilles and variations thereof.

Seriously, his last name would suck as a city name.

Seventeen states named counties after him. I live in one of them.

and Montgomery, Alabama is named after him as well.

He is of the same era as Benedict. Most people have no idea of who he was.
