No, that is wrong below. The term "city on a hill" comes from the Bible and was used by John Winthrop in 1630. He stated " we shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us." Then, in 1974 Reagan gave a speech called We will be a city upon a hill at the conservative political action convention. JFK also used the term in a speech.

General Thomas Gage of the British decided to station troops on Bunker Hill. The Americans quickly learned of his plans and jumped into action. On the night of June 16, 1775, more than one thousand patriots moved top the nearby Breed Hill. Gage ordered his British men to drive the patriots off. "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes," ordered American General Israel Putnam, in an attempt to conserve precious ammunition. The latter quote has grown quite famous. In the end of the battle, over 1,00 British soldiers lay dead or wounded, as compare to 397 American men. Despite the steep difference in casualties, the British technically won the battle, as the Americans retreated.
