Liberty Kids - Bunker Hill

EPISODE 09: Sarah searches for a British officer who may know her fathers where abouts. James, with Dr. Joseph Warren at Bunker Hill, witnesses the battle and learns firsthand the high price of freedom. Henri makes mischief as a messenger between the battle lines. They are all saddened when they are faced with death.


HISTORICAL CONTENT: The first major battle of the war is fought. The Americans, with little ammunition are told, "don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes." The battle results in a victory for the Crown, but at such a high cost to the British that the American cause gains needed momentum.

EMOTIONAL TAKEAWAY: There is nothing romantic or fun about war, the result of which is injury and death.
