The victory over Boston in 1776 was considered illusory because, despite the American forces successfully forcing British troops to evacuate the city, it did not lead to a decisive turning point in the Revolutionary War. The British retained significant military strength and resources, allowing them to regroup and continue their campaign elsewhere. Furthermore, the lack of a unified strategy and the ongoing challenges faced by the Continental Army revealed underlying vulnerabilities that would persist throughout the conflict. Ultimately, the win in Boston did not secure independence or ensure the long-term success of the American cause.

Was Boston under British or loyalist control during the American Revolutionary War?

Boston was under British control until March of 1776. Washington commanded the patriot army which was outside Boston, keeping the British penned up in town. The patriots had captured Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain. Washington sent Henry Knox to bring the cannon from the captured Fort to Boston. This took months, and the dismounted cannon were hauled on ox sleds across New England in the freezing winter of 1775-6. When ready, over one night in March 1776 the patriots fortified Dorchester Heights overlooking Boston and emplaced the cannon there. This made the entire British position in Boston untenable, so the British boarded their ships and evacuated Boston. Boston remained in patriot hands for the rest of the war. When the British evacuated Boston in March 1776 there were no British troops anywhere in the thirteen colonies, but they would soon be back.
