The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775 in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The British forces of 2,400 soldiers led by Generals Howe and Gage attacked 1,500 American colonial troops led by Generals Ward, Putnam, and Warren, who were stationed on Breed's Hill. After two failed attacks that resulted in heavy British casualties, the British launched a third strike once they realized the colonial forces were out of ammunition, forcing the colonists to finally retreat. Though the British gained control of the area, it came at a high cost of 1,150 British soldiers killed or wounded compared to 450 colonial casualties.Siege of boston

The Battle of Bunker Hill began on June 17, 1775 when the British attacked the Americans who had fortified Breed's Hill and Bunker Hill in Charlestown. It was a bloody battle that resulted in over 1,000 British casualties compared to around 400 American casualties. Though the British were victorious in taking the hills, it was a pyrrhic victory and showed the resilience of the colonial forces. Washington then sent men to capture weapons from the lightly defended Fort Ticonderoga, which they used the following year to force the British to evacuate Boston by placing artillery on Dorchester Heights.The Unio

The Union formed in 1861 when several southern states seceded and formed the Confederacy in order to protect the institution of slavery. The Union states were represented by dark blue on maps and fought to prevent the south from forming their own country. Key events for the Union included the First Battle of Bull Run and the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed many slaves who then fought for the Union army. The Union wore blue uniforms and used muskets primarily. Under the leadership of President Lincoln and General Grant, the Union defeated the Confederacy and preserved the United States as one country.Battle Of Saratoga

The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 was a major turning point in the American Revolutionary War. It proved to American colonists and European powers like France that the colonial forces could defeat British troops in a major battle. The battle was comprised of two major engagements - the Battle of Freeman's Farm and the Battle of Bemis Heights - that resulted in decisive victories for the Americans over British and Hessian forces. This American success encouraged France to enter the war in support of the colonies.American Revolution Revisited

After the British surrendered at Yorktown in 1781, the Treaty of Paris was ratified in 1783, recognizing the United States as an independent nation and establishing its borders from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River. The Americans won the Revolutionary War for several reasons: they knew the local geography, the British were fighting from far away in England, the Americans received military and financial assistance from France and Spain, and the American spirit of patriotism and desire for independence drove them to continue fighting despite early setbacks.Battle at Saratoga

Benedict Arnold was initially a hero of the American Revolution but later committed treason by offering to hand over the key fort of West Point to the British. The British occupied Savannah, Georgia in 1778 and Charleston, South Carolina in 1780, where over 5,000 American troops were captured in the worst defeat of the war. Later battles including Cowpens and Guilford Courthouse involved clashes between American generals like Nathaniel Greene and Daniel Morgan against British commander Charles Cornwallis, ultimately resulting in Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown in 1781 after being surrounded by American and French forces, effectively ending the Revolutionary War.War of 1812

After the Civil War, Fort Sumter was built off the coast of Charleston, SC to boost coastal security. When SC seceded in 1861, they laid siege to Fort Sumter with artillery after failed negotiations to gain control of the fort. In April 1861, Confederate General Beauregard attacked the fort on orders from President Davis, forcing its surrender after 34 hours. The battle marked the start of the Civil War and prompted other southern states to secede and join the Confederacy.

2) As rebellion grew against British rule, the colonies divided between Patriots who supported independence and Loyalists who remained loyal to England.
3) The Boston Massacre, in which British soldiers fired into a crowd killing colonists, was seen differently by the colonists and England - the colonists viewed it as murder while England argued the soldiers acted in self defense against a mob.26 civil war gettysburg (11)

The Battle of Gettysburg was a major turning point in the American Civil War. Over three days of intense fighting in July 1863 near the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the Union forces were able to stop General Robert E. Lee's Confederate invasion of the North. On the first day, Union cavalry slowed the Confederate advance and secured high ground. The second day saw heavy fighting as the Confederates attacked the Union flanks. On the third and final day, Pickett's Charge, a massive Confederate infantry assault on the Union center, was repulsed with heavy losses, forcing Lee to retreat. The Union victory ended Lee's campaign and put the Confederacy on the defensive for the rest of the war.Sec 4N Hist (Elec) Chapter 9: Korean War Part 1

This allowed North Korea to build up its military with Soviet and Chinese support while the US only gave South Korea light weapons.

The War of 1812 began because Britain and France were attacking American ships and Britain was arming Native American tribes near Ohio, while politicians wanted to defend American honor and gain territory. The US had few trained troops and ships compared to Britain's powerful navy. Early American invasions of Canada failed. However, American naval victories led by Oliver Hazard Perry and ships like the USS Constitution turned the tide. Britain then burned Washington D.C. but was repelled from Baltimore, inspiring the Star Spangled Banner. Both sides agreed to a truce without major land changes in 1814, though Andrew Jackson later defeated Britain at New Orleans in 1815.War of 1812 (1)

The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and the United Kingdom. Several factors contributed to the start of the war, including British interference with American shipping through blockade and impressment of American sailors. The war resulted in no major territorial changes and did not accomplish the goals of either side.

The Revolution officially began in April 1775 with skirmishes between British troops and colonial minutemen in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts.

In response to these events, the Second Continental Congress met in May 1775 and produced the Declaration of Independence in 1776, defining the principles of the new American nation.

Another key American triumph was the 1777 surrender of the British General Burgoyne's forces at SarCivil War
