WHY THE WAR HAPPENED The war happened because the patriots wanted to have freedom& the British wanted the patriots to do what they said to do. I think that the British should let the one who want freedom go & the loyalist cam stay with the king.( or the British )

THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL
The militia numbered 20,000 around Boston. They led the colonists against the Redcoats. They said, ”Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes”, because they were low on ammunition. They eventually had to withdraw. The British won.

INFORMATION ABOUT BUNKER HILL
While the result was a victory for the British, they suffered heavy losses: over 800 wounded and 226 killed, including a notably large number of officers. The battle is seen as an example of a Pyrrhic victory, because the immediate gain (the capture of Bunker Hill) was modest and did not significantly change the state of the siege, while the cost (the loss of nearly a third of the deployed forces) was high. Meanwhile, colonial forces were able to retreat and regroup in good order having suffered fewer casualties. Furthermore, the battle demonstrated that relatively inexperienced colonial forces were willing and able to stand up to regular army troops in a pitched battle. When the British were alerted to the presence of the new position the next day, they mounted an attack against them. After two assaults on the colonial lines were repulsed with significant British casualties, the British finally captured the positions on the third assault, after the defenders in the redoubt ran out of ammunition. The colonial forces retreated to Cambridge over Bunker Hill, suffering their most significant losses on Bunker Hill.
