Asked by Wiki User

American industry had two vital points;

1. It was intact, and was extremely unlikely to be destroyed (on the mainland at least) by enemy action

2. America has vast natural resources which means it doesn't have to import a lot, which means during a war it can't be 'starved' by enemy blockade

What advantages did Breed's Hill give the patriots?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Before the battle, Breeds Hill was a good location for a defensive position, allowing them to make walls of dirt to protect the patriots from British bullets, as well as the position being far enough away from the shoreline to be too far away for the cannons on British ships to fire at them. After the battle, even though the patriots lost the battle, it boosted their morale, or made them think that they had a good chance of winning the war. It boosted their morale because almost every patriot behind the dirt walls had killed or wounded at least three British soldiers, who at the time were considered the best infantry in the world. And at this point, the patriots were little more than quickly trained militia and volunteers whose courage was not doubted, but needed much more training in order to survive a fair fight against the British. So to summarize, Breeds Hill gave a good defense to the patriots, and although they had lost, the patriots felt that they had a better chance of winning the war for independence.
