Despite their loss, the inexperienced colonial forces inflicted significant casualties against the enemy, and the battle provided them with an important confidence boost during the Siege of Boston (April 1775-March 1776).

Answer:

The Battle of Bunker Hill was important because it was the first major battle.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was a victory for the British but the Americans felt a sense of pride becasue it took the British three tries to make it up the hill.
