In this election, so many of Millennials’ minds are held captive by socialism, the envious notion that was imported from Europe by the American left. In this time for choosing, the only way to break the bonds of their captivity is to show them that the freedom they crave is incompatible with a state that would manage their lives. In order to do that, they need to choose from bold colors, not pale pastels, to quote Reagan’s speech to Young Americans for Freedom in 1975.

Consider the effect of the men on the hill being unwilling to help Prescott’s men in the redoubt. Some of Prescott’s men were killed because they ran out of ammunition and didn’t have someone step into the redoubt alongside them and start firing away when they were no longer able.

At the end of the first assault, two things should be noteworthy. First, the British had to withdraw because their ranks were decimated. The second thing we need to be aware of was the fact that Putnam tried to bring some reinforcements to Prescott and the men in the redoubt.

Reagan had Bernie Sanders pegged while he was a school boy reading Eugene Debs. Bernie Sanders would tell you that the fat man ate the thin man out of house and home, and that’s why he’s fat. In reality, the fat man freely bought food and ate it, and the thin man apparently did the same, just less of it. The Sanders solution is to assure none of us ever get fat again.

Many people today feel as if President Barack Obama has been leading America covertly into the socialism Bernie Sanders is overtly proclaiming. Many feel that they are no longer living in the America of their youth. To understand how we got here, it is necessary to understand how we got here.

The battle began at 3 p.m. For that is when the redcoats began their march up the five hundred yard upgrade. But as they did, General Howe already had made a big mistake.

Notice the place where the British landed on the southeast corner of the peninsula and notice the British ships in the Charles River: the Falcon, the Lively, and the Somerset, all well within range and able to give Howe and his troops cover when they landed.

With General Howe’s plan approved, preparations began for their attack on the redoubt on Breed’s Hill. Troop transport boats were readied. Troops were brought to the docks for loading, and as the British prepared, those in Boston who watched were focused on the redoubt where Colonel Prescott was standing.

In the second article of this series, the patriots sent 1200 men to take Bunker Hill and prepare to defend it. The Americans worked through the night to construct the redoubt and the breastworks that they would need to defend Breed’s Hill and Bunker Hill. But the peace of that night was not going to last for long.

Orders concerning what was to be done to prepare for the Battle of Bunker Hill came from General Ward, the man who would be the ranking officer until General Washington arrived. Frothingham explains what the orders were: “The detachment was placed under the command of Colonel Prescott, of Pepperell, who had orders in writing, from General Ward, to proceed that evening (June 16th) to Bunker Hill, build fortifications to be planned by Col. Richard Gridley, the chief engineer, and defend them until he should be relieved, the order not to be communicated until the detachment had passed Charlestown Neck.”
