Today, we were assigned with different events that happened during the American history. My event is battle on Bunker Hill.

Background:
Since the first battles in April, 1775, British forces had remained in Boston.
In order to break out of the city, they had to defeat the colonial militia.
The militia camped on Bunker Hill and Breed’s Hill in the city.

After the battle, British forces finally took Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775.
Although the winner was the British, they lost twice as many as the colonists.
Hearing about the losses, King George set up a shipping blockade to the colonies and hired German soldiers to help control colonists.

Even though the colonists lost the battle, they felt that they might win a war against Great Britain, because the killed more than lost.
Afterwards, the British sent 30,000 more troops to the colonies and they had set up a shipping blockade.
These actions intrigued the colonists that it was time to declare their independence from British rule.
