DESCRIPTION: A 19th-century perspective of "The Battle of Bunker Hill." The Battle of Bunker Hill, fought on June 17, 1775, near Boston during the early stages of the American Revolutionary War, was a pivotal event in the conflict. Despite its name, most of the fighting actually took place on nearby Breed's Hill. The battle was a demonstration of the Colonists' determination and ability to stand against the British Army. Although the British ultimately won the battle, they suffered significant casualties, which boosted American morale. Strategically, it showed that the Colonists were capable of standing up to the British military might, marking a turning point in the Revolutionary War and encouraging further resistance against British rule.
