The Battle of Bunker Hill – A Revolutionary Battle That Shaped a Nation
1/ Introduction: On June 17, 1775, the Battle of Bunker Hill (really fought on Breed’s Hill) erupts in Charlestown, Massachusetts. It’s a pivotal moment in the American Revolution, proving the colonists can stand up to the mighty British Army. Though a British victory, the heavy cost shocks the Redcoats and galvanizes the Patriot cause. Let’s break down how this misnamed battle became a legend. #BunkerHill #RevolutionaryWar

On this day in 1775, the 'shot heard round the world' is fired as British redcoats and colonial Minutemen trade musket volleys on Lexington Green near Boston. It's seen as the start of the American War of Independence.

Before the Revolution, Irish immigrants, both Catholic & Scots-Irish Presbyterians, helped shape the American colonies. By 1775, they made up a quarter of Washington’s army and played key roles on both sides of the war.

General Patton received orders to bypass Trier, Germany because it was estimated that 4 divisions would be needed to capture it. When the message arrived, Patton had taken the city with 2 divisions. "Have taken Trier with two divisions, do u want me to give it back?"
