The correct statement regarding the Battle of Bunker Hill is: **The British won the battle and had few losses.**
The battle, fought on June 17, 1775, was technically a strategic victory for the British as they took control of the Charlestown Peninsula. However, they suffered significant casualties, with over 1,000 British troops killed or wounded, while the American forces had approximately 450 casualties. Despite losing the ground, the heavy losses inflicted on the British boosted American morale and demonstrated that colonial forces could stand up to the professional British army.
