Breed's Hill

Breed's Hill, located near Boston, Massachusetts, is historically significant for its role in the American Revolutionary War. In 1775, colonial forces fortified the hill to defend against British troops. The Battle of Bunker Hill, often mistakenly associated with the nearby Bunker Hill, actually took place mostly on Breed's Hill. Despite losing the battle, the colonists proved they could stand up to the British army, boosting American morale. Today, Breed's Hill is part of the Boston National Historical Park and serves as a symbol of American resistance and the fight for independence.
