EVACUATE!!! (by Jesse Loeb)

Night of March 4, 1776: Dorchester Heights
800 American soldiers stood guard along the river of Dorchester shores. They began working through the night to build structures suitable to defend against the British Army. A large portion of the artillery was moved and installed at Dorchester Heights, a point of strategic importance due to its elevation and commanding view of all of Boston and Boston Harbor.
In response, General William Howe planned on mounting a counter-offensive against the fortified positions on the Heights, but bad weather forced him to rethink his plan. In the end he fell back from the city. The Royal Navy evacuated British Army troops stationed there, as well as many Loyalists.
American SUCCESS!!!
British FAIL!!!
