Which early battle ended in a decided British victory but buoyed American morale?

"Men, you are all marksmen - don't one of you fire until you see the whites of their eyes," Colonel Prescott said at the Battle of Bunker Hill. The battle (which actually occurred on Breed's Hill) in Massachusetts was one of the first defining battles of the Revolutionary War. On June 17, 1775, it ended in a British victory, but the unpracticed colonists managed to do some damage, giving them a much-needed ego-boost.
