Why was the battle of breeds hill seen as an important battle in the fight for America's independence?
The Battle of Breeds Hill was an important battle during the American Revolution because it was one of the first major battles. Due to limited amounts of rebel gun powder, troops were told to not shoot until they could see the whites of the enemys' eyes. They were also told to aim for commanding officers in the British army to help demoralize the enemy. Even though the British won the Battle of Breeds Hill, about 1 in 6 of their officers were killed. American troops were forced to retreat because the supply of gunpowder was used up. Even though the Americans lost this battle, it showed to the British and the rest of the world that Americans were willing to risk their lives to fight for their freedom.
