Battle of Bunker Hill part two
It took the minute men two to five days to get there. At this time the British was shot at. The British ran up the hill twice but was shot down both times. The third time the British went up, Howe ordered his army to use baynots. This time was a success becaus the musket riffles took so long to reload. The Colonists ran out off ammo and their efforts to stop the British without weapons failed. This allowed the British to get up the hill and claim victory over the Colonists. -
Costly Victory
I believe that is was a costly war for the British because the British helped supply the Colonists so they could make it in the new world. The British also defended the Colonists in the other war.
