Assuming butterflies don't change things earlier, this would massively impact the Saratoga campaign.
Interestingly, one of the most unusual war memorials in the world is at the Saratoga battlefield, which I visited back in November. It's a large stone carving of a boot (symbolizing the severe leg wound Arnold suffered in the battle) and an inscription that reads: In memory of the most brilliant soldier of the Continental army, who was desperately wounded on this spot, winning for his countrymen the decisive battle of the American Revolution, and for himself the rank of Major General. Purposefully, the name Benedict Arnold is never specified and no depiction of his face is included.
