By driving the British from Boston, the rebellion achieved its first decisive victory, expelling the bulk of British forces from the American colonies. This triumph was more than just a strategic success... it was a surge of confidence for the revolution. The war was no longer a scattered resistance but a tangible fight for self-determination. Emboldened by this victory, the Continental Congress moved forward with its most radical step yet. In the months that followed, the momentum gained on the battlefield translated into political action, culminating in the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.

Boston. April 20, 1775 - March 17, 1776.
American Forces: ~ 17,000 Men.
British Forces: ~ 12,000 Soldiers.
