After the capture of Fort Ticonderoga by American revolutionary forces in May 1775, the fort became a crucial strategic asset for both the Continental Army and the British. The Americans seized artillery from the fort and transported it to Boston, which helped break the British siege of the city in the following months. The successful capture also boosted morale among the colonists and encouraged further enlistments in the revolutionary cause. Ultimately, Fort Ticonderoga's seizure was a significant early victory in the American Revolutionary War, contributing to the broader conflict against British rule.
