On June 13th, the leaders of the colonial forces learned that the British were planning to send troops into Charlestown. In response, 1,200 colonial troops under the command of Col. William Prescott quickly occupied Bunker Hill on the north end of the peninsula and Breed's Hill closer to Boston. By the morning of the 16th, they had constructed a strong redoubt on Breed's Hill and other entrenchments across the peninsula. The next day, the British army under General William Howe, supported by Royal Navy warships, attacked the colonial defenses. The British troops moved up Breeds Hill in perfect battle formations. One of the commanders of the improvised garrison, William Prescott, allegedly encouraged his men to “not fire until you see the whites of their eyes.” Two assaults on the colonial positions were repulsed with significant British casualties; the third and final attack carried the position after the defenders ran out of ammunition. The colonists retreated to Cambridge over Bunker Hill, leaving the British in control of Charlestown but still besieged in Boston. The battle was a tactical victory for the British, but it proved to be a sobering experience, involving more than twice the casualties than the Americans had incurred, including many officers. The battle demonstrated that inexperienced Continental militia could stand up to regular British army troops in battle.
Various ideologies such as economy , army power , etc made the U.S. a world power
- From the late 1870s to the 1890s, <em>the United States </em><em>underwent a dramatic shift that saw it become into an industrialized country</em>. The novelists Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner first used the phrase "Gilded Age" in 1873 to describe the affluence of the time that was undermined by corruption.
- <em>The US economy expanded </em><em>at its quickest rate in history between the 1870s and the 1980s</em>.
- <em>Urbanization, widespread immigration, and technological advancements</em> occurred during this time.
- Laissez-faire capitalism prevailed during this time, benefiting large corporations but not the working class.
- The public referred to industrialist leaders and financiers as "robber barons" and they were able to amass enormous wealth.
- Strikes resulted from unrest, although the federal government tended to support business owners over unions.
- In addition, there was a <em>significant political turnout during this time</em>. This was greater than 90% in some states. Governments, though, were dishonest. Every president from 1876 through 1992 received less than 50% of the vote, which limited what they could achieve.<em> </em>
- <em>The majority of their time was spent seeking political favors</em> from individuals who had aided in their election to power through patronage. The reason they are frequently referred to as the "forgotten presidents" is due to this. The picture "The Bosses of the Senate" shows how much more authority robber barons have than public servants.
