Explanation

The Siege of Boston ended in March 1776 when the Continental Army’s position on Dorchester Heights made the city too dangerous for British forces to hold. The British evacuated Boston on March 17, 1776, so they were forced out of the city. The Continental Army did not leave Boston; it remained there after the British departure.
