Answer:

During the American Revolution, American militia siege the city of Boston which then under control of Britishers. General Washington who was leading the American forces used troops seized from Fort Ticonderoga to use against the British. Supply lines of Britishers were already exhausted by Americans. When British commander Howe find it as an indefensible situation, Britishers left the city by sea route.
