Revolutionary War: Northern Front, 1775-1777 In the first eighteen months of armed conflict with the British (the conflict would not become a "war for independence" until July 4, 1776), Washington had begun to create an army and forced the British army in Boston to evacuate that city in March 1776.
The British left Boston in March 1776. They left for Canada to regroup to fight in other places including New York.
From July 1775 to March 1776, George Washington's main accomplishment was successfully leading the Continental Army during the Siege of Boston. He implemented effective military strategies and bolstered troop morale, ultimately forcing British forces to evacuate the city in March 1776. This victory not only lifted the spirits of the American revolutionaries but also solidified Washington's reputation as a capable military leader.
On March 4, 1776, the Continental Army, led by General George Washington, successfully completed the positioning of artillery on Dorchester Heights, overlooking Boston. This strategic move forced the British forces, who occupied the city, to evacuate. The event marked a significant turning point in the American Revolutionary War, as it effectively ended British control of Boston and boosted the morale of the colonial forces.
The British evacuated the city on March 17, 1776, after the patriots had fortified Dorchester Heights.
They fought back.

The artillery seized from Fort Ticonderoga was used to drive the British from Boston. In March 1776, under the command of George Washington, the Continental Army positioned the captured cannons on Dorchester Heights, which forced the British to evacuate the city. This strategic move significantly boosted the morale of the American forces early in the Revolutionary War.

The British evacuated Boston by sea on St. Patrick's Day 1776 after an 11-month siege. And that is why, to this day, kids in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, get St. Patty's day off from school.
