Major John André was a British Army officer during the American War of Independence. He was well-liked on both sides of the conflict, and he charmed colonists and British superiors alike when the British occupied Philadelphia and New York.
The trouble started when he was approached by American general Benedict Arnold, who wanted to surrender his command, the garrison at West Point, to the British for a cool £20,000 (a sum upwards of three million dollars today). It was a coup for the British; control of West Point would effectively isolate New England and make it difficult for the other colonies to render aid.
But things didn’t go smoothly from the start. André took his ship, the Vulture, to a spot near Haverstraw, New York, where Arnold had commanded rowers to pick André up. On land, André met with Arnold, and their discussion ran long — so long, in fact, that American soldiers noticed and began to fire on the Vulture, forcing it to flee.
André was stranded behind enemy lines. Arnold provided him with civilian clothes and papers detailing the weak points of the West Point fortifications. From there, it was up to André to make his way overland back to the British. He was making good progress until he was stopped near Tarrytown by a group of soldiers he mistook for British sympathizers.
Though he quickly corrected his mistake, his greeting had already roused their suspicions. They searched him and discovered the West Point plans hidden in his boot. He was very nearly saved when American military leaders planned to send him to Benedict Arnold to imprison.
But a newcomer, Major General Benjamin Tallmadge, had heard murmurs that an American general had turned traitor — but nobody knew which one. He convinced the other military men not to send André to Arnold yet, but he couldn’t stop them from sending Arnold a letter explaining the situation.
So it was that Arnold forewarned that his treason had been discovered, escaped, while the British spy André was sent to the gallows.
André tried to defend himself by saying he never wanted or planned to be behind American lines, and that as a prisoner of war he had the right to try to escape. The board was unmoved. André was found guilty of being a British spy and hanged on Oct. 2, 1780.
