I always believed that the location of West Point was unknown to the British. .me
General George Washington considered West Point to be the most important strategic location in America…
The British believed the acquisition of West Point would give their military control of the Hudson Valley, a potentially important blow to American independence. But fate conspired against both men (Benedict Arnold and his British contact. -added). The British ship HMS Vulture, which had transported Andre to the meeting, was forced from the scene by American gunfire.
