The Battle of Bunker Hill was early in the War for Independence. Historians call the battle pivotal to the colonist independence. The British did prevail during the battle but it was a hard fought effort by the colonist. How could this early battle really affect the War for Independence? What made this battle matter so much still to this day?
During my years in the classroom, many of my students found interest in this battle. The best part was explaining how to properly research any historical topic or event.
