Which of the following forces had the military advantage with fortified positions before the battle of bunker hill began? a. General Gage's Troops b. Colonel Prescott's Troops c. General Howe's Troops d. Colonel Know's Troops

D). Colonel Know's Troops

Explanation:

The British had won the so-called Battle of Bunker Hill, and Breed’s Hill and the Charlestown Peninsula fell firmly under British control. Despite losing their strategic positions, the battle was a significant morale-builder for the inexperienced Americans, convincing them that patriotic dedication could overcome superior British military might. Additionally, the high price of victory at the Battle of Bunker Hill made the British realize that the war with the colonies would be long, tough and costly.
