Answer 2

Answer:

At the Battle of Bunker Hill, William Howe ordered his men to make a frontal assault in broad daylight as he thought his better trained and more experienced soldiers would easily defeat the patriot forces.

Explanation:

The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775, as part of the Boston siege during the American War of Independence. General Israel Putnam was in charge of the revolutionary forces, while Major General William Howe commanded the British forces.

The result was a Pyrrhic victory for the British, who suffered more than a thousand casualties as a result of the frontal attacks carried by Howe. In their third assault, British forces overcame the patriot trenches in the Breed and Bunker hills. Later, British General Henry Clinton wrote in his diary that "A few more victories like this would surely end British rule in America."
