A Traitor's Epiphany: Benedict Arnold in Virginia and His Quest for Reconciliation
The Virginia campaign was an intensely personal test for Arnold. [...]1780, he had inspired soldiers to fight for the Revolution-but could he now convince them to take up arms against it? [...]Muhlenberg had little manpower; volunteer recruits were few, and the Virginia legislature failed to pass a conscription act until July 1780. [...]the Continental brigadier had little authority over state militia, and the militia was problematic. According to Hessian adjutant general Carl Baurmeister, who recorded the embarkation of the expedition, only 100 troops of the American Legion sailed to Virginia. British accounts of the early phases of the campaign consistently noted the willingness of local Tories to provide Arnold's command with information on Patriot militia movements. [...]given the erratic performance of the Virginia citizen soldiers, it was easy to assume (however mistakenly) that popular support for the war was fading.
