	Breed's Hill was closer to Boston than Bunker Hill, making it easier to fire artillery at the city. However, it was also easier for the British forces in Boston to fire back. It is possible that Prescott failed to notice the vulnerability of the position, since the fortifications were built in the dark of the night. As the Battle of Bunker Hill broke out the following day, Prescott and the commanders argued with the Prescott's partner right now, General Israel Putnam, over the site of the fortifications.

	Although the rebels were eventually forced to retreat, the British lost many of their men, including officers. Thanks to Prescott, the rebel troops remained well-disciplined, proving their worth against the British Army.
