Battle of Bunker Hill

The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June 17, 1775, during the Siege of Boston in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. The battle is named after the adjacent Bunker Hill, which was peripherally involved in the battle, and was the original objective of both the colonial and British troops, though the vast majority of combat took place on Breed's Hill.

Aftermath
After the battle, General Gage went to his wife, Margaret, with Warren's blood still on his hands, showing her that he had killed her lover. After rinsing his hands, he planned on having her returned to England.
