Answer 1

The Battle of Bunker Hill, also known as the Battle of Breed's Hill, took place during the American Revolutionary War. The colonists fought off the British twice but eventually lost the battle. Therefore, the correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is C) The Colonists retreated as soon as they saw the first British soldier charge up the hill.

The Battle of Bunker Hill, which should actually be called the Battle of Breed's Hill, took place on June 17, 1775, during the American Revolutionary War. The battle was mostly fought on Breed's Hill, not Bunker Hill. The British did suffer heavy casualties, including many officers, during their assaults on the hill. The colonists fought off the British twice, but eventually lost the battle. Despite their defeat, the colonists gained confidence from their ability to stand and fight against one of the best armies in the world.
