Siege of Boston
Hold up, buddy.
The Siege of Boston started shortly after the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775 and was the first step in the American Revolutionary War. At the time there was only one pathway into Boston so the loyalists took advantage of this and trapped British troops and attacked.
However, this did not go well for the loyalists as they were forced by low supplies to tear down their own buildings to regain them unable to gain them by any other means.
After over 10 months of being trapped within the city the British were forced to leave by George Washington and his army, making this day a holiday in Massachusetts called "Evacuation Day"
