Main Points of the Battle of Bunker Hill:
- When tensions were building in June 1775; the militiamen seized Bunker Hill behind Charlestown.
- They built forts on top, they alarmed the British, and the British wanted to fight.
- General William Howe crossed the bay with 2,200 British soldiers, and the fight began.
Conclusion:
This was a fail because the British were fighting up the hill and the militiamen were fighting down the hill, causing the militiamen to have an advantage, since fighting down a hill is easier. The militiamen also built a fort of protection, so they were more protected then the British.
