Bunker Hill And Breed’S Hill

Lorrene

Before 1822, when it was made a city, Boston was still a town. The Siege of Boston was the opening stage of the Revolutionary War. It began with the American militia surrounding British soldiers who had just fled in defeat from the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The siege started on April 19, 1775, at 7:00 A.M., with the British fleeing to Boston. Hostile Bostonians, who had an army of only colonial militia, met them. The militia had four leaders, Artemas Ward, Israel Putnam, John Stark, and Nathanael Greene. Having learned the British had planned to occupy the hills surrounding Boston, the Bostonian militia under the leadership of Colonel William Prescott built fortifications on Breed’s Hill, even though Prescott had ordered the fortifications to be built on Bunker Hill. Breed’s Hill is smaller and closer to Boston than Bunker Hill. On June 16, 1775, British troops under the direction of Major General William Howe and Brigadier General Robert Pigot attacked the Americans at Breed’s Hill, and this attack is known as the Battle of Bunker Hill. It ended on June 17, 1775. The Battle of Bunker Hill is considered by many to be the bloodiest battle in the American Revolution. More than one thousand British soldiers and approximately four hundred American Patriots were killed or wounded. After the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Siege of Boston was a stalemate for some months. In early July 1775, George Washington was chosen as the new leader for the Boston militia. General Washington’s goal was to drive the British from Boston, and to do this they needed strong weapons. In the winter of 1775, Colonel Henry Knox along with Benedict Arnold, Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont went to Fort Ticonderoga in Northeastern New York to fetch weapons. There they surprised the sleeping British soldiers with a sneak attack, which is known as the Battle of Fort Ticonderoga. The group headed back to Boston loaded with many stolen weapons, including more than fifty cannons. They arrived in Boston in late January 1776. General Washington and his men placed the Ticonderoga cannons on fortifications around Boston. On March 2, 1776, the Boston militia bombarded the British with their weapons for two days straight. On March 4, Washington moved several thousand of his men and a few cannons to Dorchester Heights, which overlooks Boston. Realizing the Boston militia had improved to a point where they could defeat them, the British General William Howe and his troops evacuated Boston on March 17, 1776, a day the Bostonians celebrate each year.
