- The ‘Battle of Bunker Hill’, which took place on June 17th 1775, was the first time New England soldiers faced the British army in a pitched battle during the American Revolution.
Fought outside of Boston on the Charlestown peninsula, the battle itself took place, in large part, on Breed’s Hill rather than nearby Bunker Hill.

Honestly, learning about the Revolutionary War during 5th grade was the only thing I enjoyed.
Me too
My teacher was all into this. When it was almost time for summer, He invited everyone to a open plain and allowed is to shoot muskets and some cannons. There were some volunteers from the nearby college to help us load and shoot. Unfortunately he passed in 2007, some of my old classmates and I still go and shoot muskets to reminisce on it
In my with 5th grade class we studied the American Revolution for 2 weeks and everyday day after lunch we saw 2 hours of a really good Hsitory Channel documentary about the American Revolution. I enjoyed school during that whole experience.
@@trollpolice Bruh my school always teaches us about out country's history when i've heard it more than 7 times already, would be pretty pretty good if they taught us about ww2 and the revolutionary war
Me too.
So I just found this piece of the description of the Minutemen for Empire- Total War and it just made me crack up for a minute.
"Their thoroughly unsporting habit of not standing in line to get shot was much despised by their British opponents."
@John Doe Actually the British won a lot of victories against the militia with their tight packed formations. Unless you had the advantage of terrain slowing the enemy you could only get a couple volleys off at an effective range before a charging column closed with you. The British trained to absorb those hits and then charge the firing line in column, presenting a very narrow front until they closed with the enemy.
At that point it was bayonet work, where the British in combat formation basically became a line of spears and the colonists with their motley equipment and few bayonets were at a severe disadvantage.
It wasn't until years into the conflict that the US forces managed to standardize their equipment, get bayonets to everyone who needed one, train their men in the art of bayonet fighting (thank you von Steuben) and stand up to the British bayonet charges.
me playing holdfast " as an american we have proved standing in line is stupid and im gonna take this group ad were gonna take the high ground and shoot down,
Brits: ABSOULTE RAGE!!!!!!!!
@@hagamapama United States 1781 would like to have a chat with you.
Yet, interestingly enough, the minutemen who weren't "stupid" enough to fight in lines formed into lines on Lexington Green to withstand the British. Line fighting was suited to its time, and all major battles, whether American victories or British, were won using lines of men. I will agree that militias, scouts, guerillas, and spies all had their place in warfare, but it is incorrect to say that they were the dominant force that won American freedom. Militiamen also had an uncomfortable penchant for simply leaving the army when they got bored or sick of fighting. It was the well drilled discipline of the Continental Army, along with a lot of aid from France, Spain, and the Netherlands that won the war.
@John Doe please don't use that movie as an accurate account of American history
imagine being breed's hill and having the majority of a battle take part on you but your friend, bunker hill gets all the credit
British Officer: Sir, we have captured the hill!
British General: Excellent, how many casualties did we suffer?
British Officer: ummm...
American general: Super easy, barely an inconvenience
British Officer: Yes
*N O*
@Dan Gurău casualties is a general term for both those dead and wounded. Though the goal in war back then wasn't to actually kill your enemy but to burden them with wounded, because it takes more resources to care for a wounded man than bury a dead one.
Mega The Chieftain Theres bound to be lots of deaths. The Americans had the advantage by fortifying themselves up high.

The men at Bunker Hill may not have been trained in conventional warfare in the European mode but they were veterans of militia service. They knew very well how to use their weapons.
Do Most Dangerous Jobs: *The Forlorn Hope* _(Napoleonic Wars)_ .They were basically on suicide missions, with astronomically high casualties
Sharpe's Company by any chance?
Could you elaborate?
@@Fred_the_1996 I think he is referring to it as this in summary: The forlorn hope was as the name suggests the initial assault on a fortified position with a thin chance of surviving. If a breach was made in the enemy's defences these men would go in first to exploit it as the main force followed.
The forlorn hope would though have its rewards, for an officer he could make his name or be guaranteed promotion. Whe a soldier would if he survived would have first pick when looting began (being already in the cities walls.)
The siege of Badajoz and to a lesser extent Cidrad Rodriguez in the Peninsular war are quite good examples, as brilliantly portrayed in Sharpe's Company.
Capitão Explosão The Forlorn Hope was the first squad the attackers sent into a breach. It was expected most, if not all, members assaulting in the first wave would be killed or wounded with the intention they soaked up bullets and casualties so the later waves faired better due to reloading or moping up remains of the Hope. Hopes were usually made up of men who desperately craved immediate advancement or rewards if they survived.

Britain when it’s a super power: *Looses against American farmers*
Soviet Union when it’s a super power: *Looses to Afghan farmers*
America when it’s a super power : *Looses to Vietnamese farmers*
Me : I’m beginning to see a pattern here that I’m not too sure I like. . .
Funny part is too a lot of those farmers we equipped by at least one of those other countries that lost to farmers
All three defeats had the same reason. The homefront thought the war sucks. In all three wars the superpower could have wiped the floor with the farmers if they fully commited to the war but the general public and the financial advisors saw no reason in continuing it.
AVKnecht That is soo true. When it comes to war you need people and war support to help with a war. But most of them didn’t see a point to it
Not sure how true it was but I had a history professor who claimed it was because the farmers were often defenders who had everything to lose if defeated where as the attacking super power often had weak will to win and not that much to gain on the long run. So high will vs low will essentially.
We we fought Vietnam like WW2 we would have obliterated all of North Vietnam but we also would have probably gotten into a full scale war with China/Soviet Union.
Fun fact: there’s also a ww2 aircraft carrier called “bunker hill” based on this
Part of Essex-class
Oh cool
I can’t imagine a carrier named “Breeds Hill”.
The US Aircraft Carriers of World War 2 were generally named after past American battles.
NotAidanandHi and presidents
I also feel that another important key factor was skimmed over on this topic. During the Battle of Bunker Hill, several dozen free African Americans served in their companies alongside their fellow militiamen and created heroes such as Peter Salem, who was rumored to have mortally wounded British Major John Pitcairn, who would be immortalized by the Continental Army in stamps and propaganda pieces. Salem would serve a total of four years and live to be 66

“Charging uphill into enemy fire is your idea of superior tactics?”
It worked for hundreds of years. In those days marksmanship wasn't really a thing; muskets couldn't hit a man-sized target past 50 yards reliably. Morale and discipline however were vital for winning a battle. If your men could be conditioned to withstand the musket fire of an enemy line, advance and reach them with bayonets fixed, the battle would be pretty much over at that point. Their morale would shatter and your guys would slaughter them. When several hundred/thousand men with the balls to walk through musket fire and with sharp pointy blades aiming for your guts get within stabbing distance, the normal reaction is to panic, crap your pants and run for your life.
The rifle and machine gun changed the equation but that was in WW1, much later.
@@someguy3766 yeah true it work out back then until someone started to make a gun that hold several rounds.
@@Mr-Ad-196 Indeed. Frankly if the men held their nerve, due to the inaccuracy of muskets and the tendency for soldiers to get anxious and lose the ability to load and fire smoothly once the enemy was within the 50 yards where your shots actually hit anything, not many of them would actually get killed. So long as discipline held your guys stood a decent chance of reaching the enemy line very much still in fighting strength. And once they get there, they start stabbing and the other guys start running.
Several tactics were used to increase the firepower of infantry forming the line of battle - fire by rank, for example, greatly increased the lethality of an infantry line. But this could be countered with advancing column formations, in which most of the advancing men are behind other men and so won't get hit. Skirmishers were also used, men who were crackshots and sometimes armed with rifles, who fired independently with aimed shots to harass the advancing formation and take out officers and NCOs.
But it wasn't until the invention of things like the rifled-musket, breechloaders, smokeless powder, repeating rifles, gatling guns and maxim guns that things like trench warfare became preferable to line firing and bayonet charges. The American Civil War was the first hint of this change in warfare and then WW1 cemented it fully.
@@someguy3766 yeah true very true back then to maximize the potential musket had like line formation and stuff.
