The cannons from Fort Ticonderoga in upstate New York, captured in May 1775, were carried overland to Dorchester Heights overlooking Boston, from which they could have shelled the city. A storm caused a British counterattack to be canceled, and the British forces in Boston (who had earlier planned to leave anyway) evacuated by ship on March 17, 1776.

Washington had his army occupy the heights over Boston. His army could attack the British army from two different directions, so the British had to divide their forces to defend their position. He could see any impending British attack so he did not need to divide his forces. His cannon were placed where they could fire on the British positions. The British cannon would need to shoot uphill and could not shoot that far. General Gage, the British commander, saw the hopelessness of his situation and abandoned Boston.
