The guns went up on the hill in Dorchester Heights and the British eventually left on March 17, which is why Boston schools close on that day every year.
General Thomas Gage planned to protect Dorchester Heights by fortifying the area with artillery and troops, recognizing its strategic importance in overlooking Boston and the harbor.

However, his efforts were hampered by the swift actions of the American forces, who ultimately occupied the heights first.
