Bloodied British Capture “Bunker’s Hill”
British forces dislodged the Americans from Bunker’s or Breed’s Hill in Charlestown, near Boston, Massachusetts, on June 17, 1775. Just two days earlier the Continental Congress had taken charge of the American army at Boston and appointed George Washington commander-in-chief of America’s armed forces.
