The Boston Siege, also known as the Siege of Boston, ended on March 17, 1776. This marked the successful conclusion of the Continental Army's efforts to expel British forces from the city, following the strategic placement of artillery by General George Washington and the Continental Army. The British troops evacuated Boston, allowing the city to fall into American hands after nearly a year of conflict.
The siege of Boston ended with the British troops evacuating the city. They had to wait in Boston Harbor for a number of days for the wind to be favorable enough to set sail out of the Harbor.
