Even if they had routed it, subsequent events proved that routing the Continental Army was not a war winning strategy ? b) Did Bunker (Breed's) Hill really bolster confidence in the rebels' rank and file at the time that they could stand up to British regulars or was that a later spin ? Didn't the confidence booster already happen at Menotomy ? Bunker Hill captures the imagination but a clearer case has to be made of how ultimately important it was ?

The article has nothing to do with who was right or wrong in the American-Mexican War. It is simply regards how a particular battle was an important part of a national history. If you are going to comment please be mature and substantiate your remarks. What was a lie?? And who qualifies as a real historian in your book? Polk may have wanted a war, but Santa Anna was a far cry from a peaceful and benevolent leader as well. Your reply makes no sense, just sounds like anti-American vitriol.
