Battle of Bunker Hill |

|
||||||
| The first major engagement of the American Revolution was fought to control the heights dominating Boston Harbor. It occurred on June 17, 1775, in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The colonial militias twice repulsed the British, who suffered heavy losses, but the colonists ran out of ammunition and had to retreat. Although the British won the battle, the colonial militias learned that they could fight against the regular British soldiers. | ||||||
