The British retreated from Boston because the patriots (American colonists) wanted the british out of Boston. so George Washington formed a plan and told Henry knox to go to fort ticonderoga with his men and steall the needed artillery and bring it back to Boston. when they came back they got their canons and they lined them up facing the british. the next morning when the british woke up they got scared so they retreated fropm Boston. this was good for the patriots because it was all a fraud and there was no ammunition in any of the canons...... hoped i answered ur question =).......
