What happened at the Siege of Boston in 1775?

After the battles of Lexington and Concord, colonial forces surrounded Boston, where British troops were stationed, and tried to drive them out and regain control of the city. The British closing Boston’s port was a separate punishment imposed earlier, and the colonists—not the Continental Army on Britain’s side—opposed the British. The British fought to hold the city and attacked the hills at Bunker Hill, rather than trying to capture them as the main event of the siege.
