Question

How did Washington gain control of Boston is the answer he gained the trust of Native Americans who let a deadly attack on the British or the strategically placed cannons overlooking the harbor which forced out the British or was it he sent 16,000 troops to launch a surprise attack on the British fort protecting Boston or he surrounded the harbor, giving them no option other than to surrender

Answer 1

Washington gained control of Boston primarily through the strategically placed cannons overlooking the harbor, which forced the British to evacuate the city. After the successful positioning of artillery taken from Fort Ticonderoga, Washington's forces were able to threaten the British fleet, leading to their withdrawal in March 1776. While Washington did surround the city and sent troops, it was specifically the artillery placement that proved decisive.
