Before the battle, Breeds Hill was a good location for a defensive position, allowing them to make walls of dirt to protect the patriots from British bullets, as well as the position being far enough away from the shoreline to be too far away for the cannons on British ships to fire at them. After the battle, even though the patriots lost the battle, it boosted their morale, or made them think that they had a good chance of winning the war. It boosted their morale because almost every patriot behind the dirt walls had killed or wounded at least three British soldiers, who at the time were considered the best infantry in the world. And at this point, the patriots were little more than quickly trained militia and volunteers whose courage was not doubted, but needed much more training in order to survive a fair fight against the British. So to summarize, Breeds Hill gave a good defense to the patriots, and although they had lost, the patriots felt that they had a better chance of winning the war for independence.

How did the patriots plan to use the physical geography of the hill to their advantage?
The Patriots planned to use the physical geography of the hill to gain a tactical advantage by positioning themselves at higher elevations, which provided better visibility and a strategic advantage over the British forces. The elevation allowed them to fire down on advancing troops, making it difficult for the enemy to approach without suffering heavy casualties. Additionally, the hill's terrain could be used to fortify their defenses, enhancing their ability to withstand attacks. This strategic use of geography was crucial in battles like Bunker Hill, where the Patriots aimed to leverage their position against a well-equipped but less agile force.
