On June 17, 1775 British regulars faced an assemblage of independently minded colonial militia at the Battle of Bunker Hill. By evening of that day the British held the Charlestown peninsula, and a new respect for the determination and resourcefulness of colonial forces. The colonials, if shaken from what was for many the first taste of war (and what it reveals of men's character), had proven to themselves that in direct confrontation they could thwart the British army, a force superior in training, equipment, and organization.

Are the Battle of Bunker Hill and the battle of breeds hill the same?
Yes. The fighting was mostly on Breed's Hill, which is lower than Bunker Hill and closer to Boston, and is in between Bunker Hill and Boston. The Patriots were supposed to take a position on top of Bunker Hill but when they got there they realized Breed's Hill was better, so they pushed on to that neighboring hill.Within a few days after the battle patriot printers printed up a "broadside", a single broadsheet description of the battle and sent that off by express riders to spread word of the battle. They incorrectly identified the scene of the fighting as Bunker Hill in this broadside, and the error took root.
