No major battles were fought in New Hampshire during the Revolutionary War. However, three battles are particularly important to New Hampshire. First, in 1774, before the Revolution began, Paul Revere rode to Portsmouth, N. H., and warned the people that the British would soon reinforce Fort William and Mary. New Hampshire patriots raided the fort and captured its cannon and 5 tons of gunpowder. The Battle of Bunker Hill in Massachusetts involved New Hampshire militias. A few years later, at Bennington, Vermont, New Hampshire militias fought and defeated British and Hessian forces. This was the first major defeat for the hated Hessian mercenaries. So, while no major battles were actually fought in New Hampshire from 1776 to 1783, New Hampshire militias had a very important role in the Revolutionary War.
