What did the British take over after Charles town?
Charles town was a "suburb" of Boston so when they came into Boston after the Boston Tea Party and closed the harbor it was just a matter of troops taking over. Boston was in a siege state and this would continue for months. It got so bad in Boston that the people were burning church pews to keep warm when winter hit. The British held Charelstown that was largely in ruins and Bunker Hill with 11,000 troops in the area. In the harbor off Long Wharf were 3 ships of the line with 50 guns or more. The main concentration of American troops were at Prospect Hill and gunpowder was low. Little gunpowder was made in the colonies and there was only enough for about 9 rounds per man. One report states that the "sound of British shells overhead was like the flock of geese."
