1. The Battle of Bunker Hill was actually not fought on Bunker Hill.
―― <span>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.
―― </span><span>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.
―― <span>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. <span>It was one of the bloodiest battles of the American Revolution.
</span>―― <span>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.

Answer: evaluate each account to discover the truth.
Historians are often faced with a dilemma when studying events of the past. It is difficult for them to reconcile contrasting accounts or to establish which account is more likely to be right. Therefore, they must evaluate each account carefully. Historians, however, rely on different strategies in order to get closer to the truth. For example, they might study how an event fits in with the events that occured immediately before or after it. They might also study how different time periods have analyzed specific past events. Finally, they might ask whether the witness was under pressure to provide a particular account. All of these strategies help us get more accurate information regarding historical events.
