The British regiment of General William Howe evacuated Boston due to mounting pressure from the Continental Army, bolstered by the fortification of Dorchester Heights with cannons. This strategic positioning, particularly after the successful placement of artillery by Henry Knox, threatened the British fleet and supply lines in the harbor. Faced with the prospect of a vulnerable position and potential military defeat, Howe decided to withdraw his forces from the city in March 1776.
