On this date, September 21, 1780, American forces discover plans to West Point, an important fort protecting the Hudson River.  They had been given to the British by the man who became America's 'most well-known traitor,' Benedict Arnold.  After being uncovered for his treason, then Major (2-star) General of the Colonial Army, Benedict Arnold, fled and became a Brigadier (1-star) General for the British.
