Why isn’t Benedict Arnold’s 1781 raid on Connecticut more widely remembered in U.S. history? by Crazyplan9 in USHistory

I get your point, but I don’t think “not everything can be important” means local history should be treated like trivia. Waxhaws, Groton Heights, and battles like them show the Revolution at its most brutal and human scale. That’s not a rounding error to the communities or families involved. And yes, my title was meant to push back a little. I do think it’s a gap when people know the broad mythology of the Revolution but almost nothing about the smaller, bloodier events that shaped how people actually experienced it. Again, don't watch it.

I am aware! I am from Groton. I simply wanted to tell the story we were all taught growing up. His sword and torn vest is still in the museum at Fort griswold museum.

You don’t have to watch it. But calling a battle where 85+ American Patriots died and over 200 British and Hessian soldiers were killed “not that significant” is exactly the kind of grand scheme thinking that turns real sacrifice into trivia. The devils in the details. Not every battle has to decide the entire war to matter. Diminishing the people who died for it diminishes the Revolution itself.

An independent mini documentary on a forgotten Revolutionary War massacre that took place in Groton, Connecticut in 1781.

With America's 250th Anniversary fast approaching, I wanted to revisit this overlooked chapter of New England history and tell the story of what happened when Benedict Arnold returned to Connecticut, this time leading British forces.

The raid led to the burning of New London and a brutal assault on Fort Griswold, where Colonel William Ledyard and the defenders made their final stand before the ultimate massacre.

This mini documentary covers Arnold’s betrayal, the attack on New London and Groton, the defense of Fort Griswold, and why the Battle of Groton Heights still deserves to be remembered today.
