Boston used to be basically an island before being filled in with tons of acres of hills. Also, 1 in 5 Boston families owned slaves and the city was known for American independence but at first they were very pro-England rule. British soldiers were also some of the best trained for war unlike colonials who had little too no training and were exhausted before entering the war.The British had a disadvantage though because they did not know the land well and many soldiers went down in groups. Many soldiers died on both sides with the British side ending with more casualties. This war is often done incorrectly in movies even though it was very important to American history.
