Why did General Howe give up on Boston as a headquarters?
General Howe left Boston after Henry Knox brought cannons from Ticonderoga and George Washington deployed them on Dorchester Heights. From that position Howes ships wer sitting ducks in Boston Harbor. Howe also felt that Boston was a very difficult place to defend because of the hiily terain and many estuaries etc. Howe told Washington he would not burn the city if he were allowed to leave the city with his army unharmed. Howe did not know that Washington had no gun powder! Washington allowed Howe to leave Boston. General Howe evacuated Boston and sailed for Nova Scotia in early 1776. There he waited for the return of spring and the proper weather for campaigning (his main objective would be New York) and more importantly reinforcements from England.

Washington had his army occupy the heights over Boston. His army could attack the British army from two different directions, so the British had to divide their forces to defend their position. He could see any impending British attack so he did not need to divide his forces. His cannon were placed where they could fire on the British positions. The British cannon would need to shoot uphill and could not shoot that far. General Gage, the British commander, saw the hopelessness of his situation and abandoned Boston.
