Did the British have a struggle in winning the Battle of Bunker Hill?

There were several factors that meant the British troops suffered heavily and almost lost the battle:The British generals badly underestimated the American forces, believing they would run away immediately the battle commenced. Although the Americans were inexperienced, poorly equipped and badly organised, they felt secure in their earth and timber fortifications on Breed's Hill.The plan of attack was stupid. A frontal attack, in massed ranks, uphill, against prepared positions and without knowing the strength of the enemy was the major reason for high number of British casualties. Alternative plans were not even considered, such as making the main attack further north behind Bunker Hill which would have cut off the entire American forces, whose fortifications would then have been facing the wrong way. Such an attack would have been almost unopposed.There was no effective use of the British force's major weapon - the navy. Although many RN warships were available they took no part in the fight; their artillery could have totally destroyed the fleeing American forces at the end of the battle.At long and medium ranges the Americans had a distinct advantage, since many were using very accurate hunting rifles. The British only used smoothbore muskets which were of little use against individual targets.In the end, at very close range, the advantage passed to the British troops. Their battle experience, discipline, massed ranks and fixed bayonets were too much for the Americans (most of whom had not been issued with bayonets), so they simply "skedaddled"; the American reserves on Bunker Hill refused to go forward to assist and they also ran away without firing a shot.

Why were Japanese American held in interments camp?

Japanese Americans were held in internment camps during World War II primarily due to widespread fear and suspicion following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S. government, influenced by racial prejudice and concerns about national security, deemed Japanese Americans, regardless of their citizenship status, as potential threats to the war effort. This led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 individuals, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, in camps across the country. The internment is now widely regarded as a grave injustice and a violation of civil rights.


How many colored men died in Tuskegee?

By the phrasing of your question I am going to assume you are referring to the number of African-American men who died during World War II whom were referred to as the Tuskegee Airman. The Tuskegee Airman were African-American pilots whom were part of the 332nd Fighter Group of the U.S. Army Air Corps. During the time of the war, 992 pilots were trained in Tuskegee at this time and of those, 150 men lost their lives either to accidents during missions or in combat.

Is it correct to use whom as the object of a verb?

Yes, it is grammatically correct. Also, use it in the prepositional phrase " to whom " as in, " To whom are you referring ? " Be careful, there is much over-correction with this word. The man (whom I knew) was an American. He said "yup." The man, who (I knew) was an American, said "yup."
