I am going to talk about what happened in the bunker hill battle. I am gong to talk about what happened the night before the battle. Then about who the battle was and where. Then I am going to talk about the leader of the British and the leader of the American.

Here is what I learned about the bunker hill battle. The battle was between the British and the Americans. The battle took place on June 17,1775 on the Charleston Peninsula on the North side of the harbor. It was the Boston garrison against the American continental army. The British won the battle between them.

__The one British leader in the battle__

The British leader was Major General Howe. He was one of three brothers. He was knighted after his successes in 1775 and was henceforth Sir William. He was born in England. His farther was Emanuel Howe. He planned to crush the Americans in the battle and he did it. He was not injured in the battle and people said that it was because of his spirt.

__The two American leader in the battle __

The one other American leader is general Israel Putnam.Israel Putnam was born in Salem Village,Massachusetts, on the 7th of January 1718. His first American ancestor came from Aston Abbotts, Bucks, and was one of the first settlers of Salem Village. In 1740 he removed to a farm in the present townships of Pomfret and Brooklyn, Connecticut.

He was one of the American leader. He was a military officer,born in Shrewsburg Massachusetts on November 27,1727.He served as major in the northern army from 1755 to 1758 and became lieutenant-colonel.

__ What happened the night before the battle __

​The night before the battle 1,500 American went to breed hill on the peninsula. The American troops began to build a redoubt on Breed hill. The fortification was complete by the morning, after a night of frenzied work. The presence of the American on the Peninsula was observed by his majesty's ship lively which opened fire on them. They put there plans in motion by the British to attach the Americans and drive them from their position. The Americans extended their fortifications shoe, to prevent a flank attack. More Americans troops gathered on bunker hill but few of them could be persuaded to move forward positions on Breed hill.

​**//__The three attacks in the battle Bunker Hill__//** The first attack was when the British went to Breed's Hill and built a wall. Then they tried to move the Americans out so that they could leave. The second attack was launch along the length of American entrenchments and was again driven back with heavy loss. The last attack was when concentrating on the redoubt and centre of American position. The American ammunition was all but exhausted and this final assault carried the redoubt.

__**//The famous quote//** __ The famous quote was said by General Israel Putnam. He said "don't shoot until you can see there white pupil". That meant that don't shoot until they are close because they was running out of ammunition. So that they would not waste the ammunition.
