After the Battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775, the British maintained control of Boston but recognized the need for a more aggressive military strategy due to the high casualties suffered during the battle. They fortified their positions and sought to break the siege imposed by the Continental Army. British forces launched a series of operations aimed at securing their hold on New England, culminating in the evacuation of Boston in March 1776 after the Continental Army fortified Dorchester Heights. This marked a significant shift in the conflict as the British aimed to regroup and reassess their strategy in the face of growing colonial resistance.
