As negotiations between Britain and its American Colonies give way to open violence, the British garrison at Boston finds itself besieged by Patriot militias. At Charlestown, these Patriots will take a stand against the advancing Redcoats, in what becomes known as the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Across the Colonies, British power is waining, just as American confidence is growing. Now both sides must step up their preparations for all-out war.
