Detailed explanation-1: -The fierce fight confirmed that any reconciliation between England and her American colonies was no longer possible.
Detailed explanation-2: -Both of these men were well-known Massachusetts men and militia leaders. However, on this day they served as citizens. Although the provincials held the high ground and had a secure position, there was still chaos at Bunker Hill.
Detailed explanation-3: -The British were trying to keep control of the city and control its valuable seaport. The British decided to take two hills, Bunker Hill and Breed’s Hill, in order to gain a tactical advantage. The American forces heard about it and went to defend the hills.
