The History Twins
Welcome to The History Twins - the podcast where history is more than just dates and dead people. Most people have heard the story of American General Benedict Arnold who gave up the plans for West Point. John Andre is the British officer who received the plans, but who was also caught and sentenced to death. Ironically, Benedict Arnold got away. One reason that this story is remembered to this day was that, had this traitorous plot succeeded, Britain may have won the war.
Who Was John Andre?
Charismatic and charming, Major John Andre was admired by both British comrades and American foes. On September 20, 1780, he met with American General Benedict Arnold in Haverstraw, NY to receive the plans for West Point. After his death, his body was buried in the Poet's Corner of England's Westminster Abbey, alongside monuments of Shakespeare, Tennyson, Chaucer, Dryden, and Spenser. But who was John Andre, really?
