A question about the ARW and Benedict Arnold

So, I was doing some reading into why Benedict Arnold has become a byword for treachery in America, and through cultural osmosis the rest of the world.

I'm actually a bit curious; what would have happened if his plan to surrender Fort Arnold (as it was known at the time, now the site of the West Point Academy) had happened; what repercussions could that have had on the ARW?
