After the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Americans increasingly adopted guerrilla tactics as a long-term strategy in their fight against British forces.

This strategy focused on hit-and-run tactics, ambushes, and leveraging the terrain to gain an advantage, enabling colonial forces to effectively confront a stronger army. By adopting guerrilla warfare, the Americans were able to cause damage while reducing confrontations, taking full advantage of their familiarity with the local landscape. This approach not only kept pressure on British forces but also enhanced American morale, highlighting their resilience and adaptability in the fight for independence.
