They Ran Out of Ammo… and Still Fought | Battle of Bunker Hill 1775Added:
They had every advantage, including the high ground. June 17th, 1775. All night the Americans dug in. A crude readout on the hill. No uniforms, no training.

closer. Then the hill exploded. One volley, the line shattered. They ran.
The British regrouped and charged again.
Same result. But on the hill, the Americans were out of powder. One more attack. The guns went silent. Bayonets over the wall. Close combat. The Americans were forced back. The British took the hill, but it cost them everything. Nearly half their force gone.
And that's why they had the high ground.
