Battle of Bunker Hill

lost throughout the beginning of this war. We have lost in the battle of Lexington and at that time, we thought that we still had hope. This started the war, and we still fought for what we wanted. Then, we lost in the Battle of Bunker Hill and we were unsure of what the outcome would be. But, at that time we still shared some toughness and determination. Lastly, at the Battle in New York we also lost and our hopes were vanished. That battle changed our morale from being confident in this war to…

The American Revolutionary War was started in 1775 and ended in 1783. The war was started because of tension building up between Great Britain, 13 North American territories, and the colonial government. For more than 10 years before the Revolutionary War, pressure has been rising between colonist and British authorities. British have attempted to get money by demanding the colonist called the Stamp Act of 1763, Townshend Tariffs of 1767, and the Tea Act of 1773.Colonials safety led to death in…

Having no food, limited supplies, and scarce ammunition, American troops held Breeds Hill, one of the hills that surrounded the city of Boston as long as they could to prevent British forces from occupying the hills. Being the first official battle for the Continental Army, the Battle of Bunker hill gave the Rebels hope that they take a chance against the strongest army in the world; Britain. Building trenches and redoubts overnight, the yankees waited for the British arrival and ambush. Three…

Now that we knew what the colonists were planning William compelled the soldier to forget everything from the last three minutes and sent him off with a bucket full of water. As we watched the soldier walk away from us William pulled his pocket watch out of his coat pocket to see what time it was. The Sun would creep over the horizon in about an hour and a half so I was forced to return to Boston where I found Jeffrey standing outside a lodging house waiting for me. Jeffrey lead me to the room I…

well-organized army. One advantage that was openly used during both of these wars was home field advantage. During the war, the smaller side would use this strategy to set up attacks. One example of home field advantage during the revolutionary war was at the battles of Lexington and Concord. The Americans used a road not shown on British maps to return fire on the Redcoats and then to take back supplies. Another use of home field advantage…

of the war of 1812 when he had heard about these he had not liked it and he had stopped working for the Colonist and if it weren't for him then we had would all be speaking British because he had won us the battle of Saratoga and that battle had last 29 days he was a key factor at that battle. He was also the man who had taken little tiny boats and sailed them right past the British navy stranding them out to sea for two seasons until spring had begun because it would be too cold to sail over to…

gives a slightly biased view of the American Revolution but remains true to the word of key military and political figures. In 1776, British forces landed on the shores of the colonies to break up the rebellion after a series of clashing events. Bunker Hill was a “bloodbath” with a loss of over 1000 British troops. Furious, the Empire retaliated with a stiff arm to American trading (Ellis, 2013, p. 3). Ellis depicts the anger of both forces with realism as the American troops formed the…

under” (Redcoats and Rebels 61). As Christopher Hibbert introduces a new thought, he includes a letter to examine and point out history. One of the weakness Mr. Hibbert portrays in redcoats and rebels, is not including a lot of maps where important battles took place in the American Revolution. Another weakness that Mr. Hibbert lacks in redcoats and rebels, is not including how most of these generals died in detail, throughout the American revolution. This book gave me more insights and details…

There were numerous battles including the battle of bunker hill, the battle of Lexington and concord and the battle of Brandywine. In which the war ended, we became unified as the united states of America. I think the American revolution was the true commencement of America and everything associated with being…
