| rdfs:comment | - General Charles Lee did not seriously consider conducting a siege on Boston because he knew he had insufficient troops to force the British out. Henry Knox proposed recovering the cannons from Ticonderoga and force the British from Boston by placing the cannon on Dorchester Heights but Lee rejected the plan. Lee believed the Continental Army must remain mobile and "liquid", in his terms, and thought that artillery would slow an army down and cause it to develop along lines which were just too conventional.
