Why did the British evacuate Boston, surely they had the capability

Did the French not fuck with their supply lines?

The French prevented Brits from seding reinforcement from 1778 to 1783.

And even before that, you have to remember that Britain was a small ass nation, they couldnt produce an infinite amount of troops

Boston was abandoned in 1776, the British would have outnumbered the americans by about 5 thousand if they sent another 10000 troops, why didn't they commit?

How can you be on /his/ and not know about General Henry Knox dragging the cannon from Fort Ticonderoga all the fucking way to Dorchester Heights?

From that location he could blast every British ship in the harbor.

They actually had to stop bombarding them to let them leave.

Brits were fucked once he dragged the guns up there.

>The Fortification of Dorchester Heights was a decisive action early in the American Revolutionary War that precipitated the end of the siege of Boston and the withdrawal of British troops from that city.

>On March 4, 1776, troops from the Continental Army under George Washington's command occupied Dorchester Heights, a series of low hills with a commanding view of Boston and its harbor, and mounted powerful cannons there. General William Howe, commander of the British forces occupying the city, considered contesting this act, as the cannon threatened the town and the military ships in the harbor. After a snowstorm prevented execution of his plans, however, Howe chose to withdraw from the city.

In the black and white drawning Knox is all skinny.

The TV show John Adams got it right.

Knox was a HUGE fat-ass.

Because no one gives to shits about the American revolution. I've just started looking into it now and I'm just surprised by how little the British seemed to give a shit.
