The Battle of Breed's Hill is more commonly called the Battle of Bunker Hill. Overnight, colonial militia took the hill and armed it with cannon. The British were forced to withdraw after being unable to gain the high ground, leaving Boston Harbor open to the patriots.

∙ 8y agoIt was the Colonial Americans, mostly men from what is now New England, who gathered to fight the British after the incidents of Concord & Lexington.
It is commonly known as the Battle of Bunker Hill because the two hills looked similar but they actually took their positions on Breeds Hill.
The Americans did not win the battle but they did inflict serious number of injuries to the British Army.

∙ 8y agoIt is best known as the location where in 1775, early in the American Revolutionary War, most of the fighting in the Battle of Bunker Hill took place. The Colonials and the British fought there. In just two hours of fighting, 1,054 British soldiers (almost half of all those engaged) had been killed or wounded, including many officers. American losses totaled over 400. The first true battle of the Revolutionary War was to prove the bloodiest of the entire conflict. Neither really thought that it would come to this.
