In the flow chart, record four important details about the Battle of Bunker Hill.(Breed's Hill).

Luda [366]

Http://www.history.com/news/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-the-battle-of-bunker-hill

1. The Battle of Bunker Hill was actually not fought on Bunker Hill.
―― Tasked on the night of June 16, 1775, with fortifying 110-foot-tall Bunker Hill on the Charlestown peninsula, which jutted into Boston Harbor, Colonel William Prescott instead directed the 1,000 patriots joining him to build an earthen fort atop neighboring Breed’s Hill, a shorter peak with a closer perch to the British under siege in Boston.

2. The Patriots sought to delay a British attack but instead provoked one.
―― Seeking to break the siege of Boston, the British planned to launch a massive attack on June 18, 1775, to seize the two promontories overlooking the city—first Dorchester Heights to the south and then Bunker Hill to the north. When patriot leaders received intelligence that an assault was imminent, they directed Prescott to fortify Bunker Hill as a deterrent. Prescott’s provocative action to instead occupy Breed’s Hill, within cannon shot of the Redcoats, forced the British to change plans, respond to the overt challenge and launch an amphibious assault on Charlestown.

3. The British won the battle.
―― Often obscured by the moral victory earned by the Patriots is that they ultimately lost the military battle. After the colonial militiamen repelled the first two British assaults, they ran out of ammunition during the third attack and were forced to abandon their redoubt. The fierce defense, however, inflicted heavy casualties on the Redcoats, demonstrated the ability of the Patriots to fight toe-to-toe with the British and boosted the colonists’ confidence.

4. It was one of the bloodiest battles of the American Revolution.
―― Victory at Bunker Hill came at a terrible price for the British, with nearly half of the 2,200 Redcoats who entered the battle killed or wounded in just two hours of fighting. The Patriots sustained over 400 casualties. “The loss we have sustained is greater than we can bear,” wrote British General Thomas Gage. “I wish [we] could sell them another hill at the same price,” quipped patriot leader Nathanael Greene after the battle.

Facts on Andrew Carnegie

julsineya [31]

1. Shaped by poverty.

Andrew Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, in 1835. His father was a hand-loom weaver displaced by technological advancements brought about by the Industrial Revolution. The family’s finances were devastated after Carnegie’s father refused to work in local factories, and the household sank into poverty. Carnegie loved his hapless father, but especially revered his mother and her fierce dedication to hard work and to ensuring a better future for her children.

2. An emerging industrialist.

In 1864, Carnegie invested in a Pennsylvania oil field, which soon earned him $1 million. He purchased his first Pittsburgh steel mill and became a partner in the Keystone Bridge Company, setting himself on the course to enormous wealth and fame. By age 30, he had resigned from the Pennsylvania Railroad to concentrate on his own business interests.

3. Giving back to his country that gave him his start.

In 1901, Carnegie retired from business and turned his full-time interest to giving away his vast fortune to improve the lives of others.

An admirer of Abraham Lincoln, Carnegie had maintained a lifelong focus on social justice, education, and the promotion of peace. After selling the Carnegie Steel Company to J.P. Morgan for a sum approaching $500 million, he started numerous nonprofits that are still in existence, including Carnegie-Mellon University and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

In 1903, Carnegie handwrote a note establishing the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust with the purpose of enriching the lives of people living in the town of his birth. Today, the trust administers public programs that further education, culture and the arts, sports and recreational activities, and community welfare projects.

Carnegie made major contributions to Booker T. Washington’s Tuskegee Institute, as well as to the New York City Public Library. His donations helped New York to expand its branch library system, and they funded close to 3,000 other public libraries in the U.S. and beyond.

Good Luck! :)
