Make the answer 2 sentences

Answer 1

The capture of Fort Ticonderoga in May 1775 gave the Americans a large supply of artillery, powder, and a morale boost that transformed their ability to threaten British positions. When Henry Knox hauled those heavy guns to Boston in the winter of 1775–76 and they were emplaced on Dorchester Heights, the British ships and troops were imperiled and General Howe evacuated Boston on March 17, 1776.
