What do you know about the battle of bunker hill?
i’ve been studying for a history test all evening, and i’m pretty tired… i’m just looking for a brief synopsis as i know that there may only be one question tops on my test that deals with this event in history. for some reason it’s not in my notes, his lecture notes, the power point, and there really aren’t any major details about it in my book.
well not sure what your wanting but here are some basics:
Britian was only at the time using small numbers of troops, mostly the ones stationed in the colonies to storm a rebel position over looking Boston. Its fall would have probably left the city open to invasion.
The colonists were outnumbered but because they held the upper ground, the british force had to charge 3 times before it fell.
It is considered all though a defeat for the colonists, a victory on the fact that britian lost a large number of troops vs the colonists.
I dont rememeber the aftermath, but it would lead to the battle of Boston, where the british commander was driven away, and he would return to Britian and form a invasion force which would next be seen in New York City.
