Battle of Bunker Hill

On 17th June 1775, in the early years of the revolutionary war (1775-83), the UK broke the Americans at the battle of Bunker Hill in Massachusetts. Although they lost, the less experienced colonial army brought enormous casualties and the battle gave them significant confidence. It is often called Bunker Hill fight, but most fights are done in the nearby Mount Brad mountain.

On June 16, 1775, after knowing that Britain was planning to dispatch troops from Boston to occupy a hill surrounding the city, he was about 1,000 under Col. William Prescott (1726-95) Colonial militia was built on the mountain. A fortress of a mansion overlooking Boston in Charles Town Peninsula. (These people were originally ordered Bunker Hill to build a fortress, but instead chose a smaller Brid Mountain close to Boston.)

On June 17, under the direction of Major General William Howell (1729-1814) and General Robert Piggott (1720-96), approximately 2,200 British forces landed on the Charleston peninsula, then headed to Mount Brad. According to British Prescott, British have been reported to the Americans to provide limited supplies of ammunition and told his people, to protect the limited supply of ammunition to Americans. "When Redcoats was within tens of yards, Americans relaxed deadly muskets and retreated the British army.

After reorganizing their lineup, British troops were attacked again and the results were about the same. But Prescott's soldiers have little ammunition. And when the red coat climbed the mountain for the third time, they arrived here and did a direct battle with Americans. Many Americans were forced to retreat. But at the end of the engagement, the artillery shots of the Patriots were reduced by about 1,000 enemy forces, of which more than 200 were killed and over 800 were injured. More than 100 Americans died and more than 300 people were injured

Brad Hill and the Charleston Peninsula were completely dominated by the British Army, but the British army won the so-called Bunker Hill campaign. Despite losing a strategic position, this battle is an important morale builder for inexperienced Americans who believe that patriotism can overcome Britain's excellent military strength. In addition, the high price of the Bunker Hill campaign has made Britain recognize that the war with colonies is long, difficult and expensive.

The battle of Bunker Hill was one of the first fights of the American Revolution. The Colonial Army occupied the Bunker (and nearby Mount Blood) initially as part of Boston's siege to capture the British Army. The colonial army experienced two attacks by the British army but exhausted the ammo in the third attack. In those days it was regarded as a failure of the colonial army, but in retrospect, the battle severely weakened the British army, they lost a lot of people and ultimately occupied the Bunker (and Brad) mountain Did.

On 17th June 1775, the British army beat the major army at the battle of Bunker Hill, Massachusetts. This battle led to a tremendous loss to an inexperienced colonial army, but that victory stimulated their confidence. This fight was one of the most bloody wars in the American Revolutionary War, and roughly half of the 2,200 red clothes that took part in the battle were killed or injured. The Patriots issued 400 casualties and the number of victims was very small compared to the number of casualties in the UK. However, the battle was not actually Bunker Hill but nearly one - third of Southern Brad Mountain.

Bunker Hill Memorial is an obelisk commemorating the battle of the first Bunker Hill in America. This fight is actually wrong, for the most part of the action was done at Brad Mountain, and this is where the monument is. The monument started in 1827, but the building had to stop until 1843. Architect Solomon Willard has 221 feet of granite from Quincy, Massachusetts. In 1794, Mason Lodge of King Solomon built a pillar of 18 feet of wood with gilding enamel on the top, in commemoration of the patriot Joseph Warren. In the last third attack, the fallen hero was sent to Paul Libya at the famous midnight, Libya got on a Warren horse. The Banker Hill Monument Association, 29 years after its founding, led the construction of a more permanent monument.
