The battle of Charlestown is commonly called the Battle of Bunker Hill. The Americans had 1600 men on the heights overlooking Boston, but they had little ammunition and powder. They faced overwhelming odds with the British, but if they had had enough ammunition and powder they could have won. The British troops had to go up hill to reach the Americans and this gave the Americans an advantage, but the lack of supplies cost them. American forces lost 441 men. Watch the history channel mini series SONS OF LIBERTY. The 3 rd show has the battle of Bunker Hill and it gives us the feelings of "being " there. The entire series is fairly accurate in it's history.
