As a battle, it wasn't all that important. But it was the first time that the colonial army faced up to the British Army. The American colonists were forced to retreat; we didn't "win" the battle. But before then, the British regular army soldiers had generally walked all over the Americans, and this time it was an actual battle. The British lost some of their cockiness and certainty, and the Americans learned that the British soldiers weren't supermen. The Americans learned that victory was possible, and the British learned that defeat was possible.

This "attitude adjustment" between the two sides was to be enormously important.
