Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lincoln was compared to Benedict Arnold because Benedict Arnold served as a gallant general during the American Revolution and saved America. Lincoln was compared to him when someone said, "the Benedict Arnold of our district" when he freed slaves, and when he helped America gain back independence.
