The battle of Bunker Hill was a major fail. The colonists were lined up on Bunker Hill, and they were majorly outnumbered, and they had insufficient ammo. When they saw the Redcoats coming up the hill, they waited until they saw the whites of their eyes to shoot to make sure that they hit them. The colonists had a huge tactical advantage because they were shooting DOWN on the redcoats coming up the hill.
The British were losing many people and finally retreated. They came back a little bit later but it gave the colonists time to recover. The British won this war because they occupied Bunker Hill, but they had great losses. The ironic thing was they didn't even need to capture Bunker Hill, it did no good for them.
All it did was made them lose many troops, pointless deaths. This was important to the American Revolution because it gave the colonists spirit and hope, and it showed them that they can win the war no matter that the British Empire is the best army in the world.
