Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of Bunker Hill

Colonial militia fortified Breed's Hill (near Bunker Hill) overlooking British-held Boston, forcing a direct assault. The defenders repulsed two British charges before running out of ammunition during the third. Though the British captured the position, they suffered over 1,000 casualties—nearly half their attacking force. The battle proved that untrained colonists could stand against professional British soldiers and boosted American morale.

💡 ¿Sabías que...?

The famous order 'Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes' at Bunker Hill was likely given because the Americans were critically short on gunpowder and needed every shot to count.
