Who won the Battle Of Bunker Hill?

Question

Help!

Answer 1

The victory won by the British at Bunker Hill3 was a costly one. They lost in killed and wounded 1054 men, one tenth of whom were officers. Pitcairn was among the dead. Howe was wounded in the foot.

The victory enabled the English to hold Boston for nine months longer, but the moral effect lay wholly with the Americans, whose loss was 449. At Bunker Hill they had discovered their own prowess, their ability to stand before the regulars; and Bunker Hill became a rallying cry of the patriots in every contest of the war.

Answer 2

I'm going to guess this is for a school project, so I'll tell you some fun facts about Bunker Hill. #1: The battle was actually fought on Breed's Hill, a few miles away from Bunker Hill. #2, though the British took the hill from the Americans, they lost a sizeable amount of men. The Americans retreated when they ran out of ammuntion, and they only ran out after mowing down waves of British attackers. The British attempted to take the hill several times, and the first several failed. The final assault finally routed the Americans from the high ground only after their munitions stores had dwindled to nearly nothing. So to answer your question in a sentence: The British won what is known as Phyrric Victory, they technically won, though they lost a disproportionate number of soldiers to make it a worthwhile victory.

Answer 3

British and the hill was call ed breds hill they made a mistake on the hill the americans would had won but they had less supplies nice try in geting history homework done

Answer 4

From a strictly military standpoint, the Brits won because they drove the colonials from the hill on their third assault.

But it was a moral victory for the colonials because the British victory came at a high cost, showed the Brits that they were willing to fight, and served as a rallying point and recruiting incentive for the colonial cause.

Answer 5

It was mostly a draw, but, the strength of the Colonists forced the British to keep their troops in Boston; thus, it is considered a "victory" for the Colonists.
