American won this battle because they used the geography to their advantage. Before General Washington was about to start, General William Prescot had already led the troops to the Hill. On the hill they could shoot down at the British, making the British troops an easy target.
The French wanted the debt that America owed them back. However, since the previous government (the one that lent them the money) was overthrown, the president said that the debt didn't count anymore. Because of this, French sailors kidnapped and attacked American sailors. This lead to an undeclared, cold war called the Quasi Wars.
