Back home the war is over after gettysburg! Back to school for that answer. The war lasted another two years. Gettysburg took place in July 1863 and Lee surrendered to Grant in April 1865. I have it on good authority that they were both supported by armies during that time. The battle of the Wilderness and Sherman's March to the Sea were yet to take place. For 8000 soldiers the answer was 6 feet into the ground.

Was the Battle of Bunker Hill on bunker hill?
There was no battle on Bunker hill - the fighting took place on the smaller Breed's Hill slightly further south. This battle was significant for many reasons:It showed up the lack of equipment among the American forces, who were not equipped with bayonets and were therefore unable to engage hand-to-hand with British troops.It showed up the folly of the British tactics in assaulting prepared positions, uphill, in formal battle lines against an enemy protected by earthworks and log defences.It showed the accuracy of American rifles compared to the British Brown Bess, which was only effective when used en masse against enemy battle lines in the open.It demonstrated poor leadership and strategy among the British generals, who had many other options available. An assault on the peninsula behind Bunker Hill would have been largely unopposed and would have trapped the American forces, with their fieldworks facing the wrong way.It was a British victory (they captured Breed's Hill and all the fortifications and gun emplacements on Bunker Hill) and the American forces ran away, some reserves refusing to go forward or carry ammunition to the forward troops - but most Americans today incorrectly think it was an American victory.
Did the British win the battle of Charlestown?
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.
