Description

Slaget ved Bunker Hill blev kæmpet den 17. juni 1775 under belejringen af Boston i de tidlige faser af den amerikanske revolutionære krig. Slaget er opkaldt efter Bunker Hill i Charlestown, Massachusetts, som var perifert involveret i slaget. Det var det oprindelige mål for både de koloniale og britiske tropper, skønt størstedelen af kampene fandt sted på den tilstødende bakke, som senere blev kendt som Breed's Hill.
Den 13. juni 1775 lærte lederne af de koloniale styrker, der belejrede Boston, at briterne planlagde at sende tropper ud fra byen for at befæste de uopdagede bakker omkring byen, hvilket ville give dem kontrol over Bostons havn. Som svar besatte 1.200 koloniale tropper under kommando af William Prescott listigt Bunker Hill og Breed's Hill. I løbet af natten konstruerede kolonisterne en stærk redoubt på Breed's Hill, samt mindre befæstede linjer på tværs af Charlestown-halvøen.
