After the Battle of Bunker Hill, the British approach to combat shifted towards increased aggression.

In response to the heavy losses they incurred, British leaders sought to showcase their military dominance and effectively quell the colonial uprising. This assertive approach entailed larger and more coordinated military campaigns aimed at reestablishing control over the colonies and instilling fear in the American forces. The British were resolute in their efforts to stifle the growing revolutionary fervor and restore stability, resulting in a series of clashes that heightened tensions and escalated the Revolutionary War.
