Copp's Hill Burying Ground was used as a military station for the British soldiers during the revolution. The British used the burying ground for training camps and because of the massive height they used this to train their cannons during the battle of bunker hill. The British soldiers used the graves as target practice and some graves still have bullet marks but some were lost during the revolution. The reason the British used the burying ground because of the high height looking over the Charles River

Most people that have died and now rest in the Copp's Hill Burying Ground were merchants,artisans, and craftsmen and women. Some freed African american slaves rest in this cemetery, along with the two puritan ministers Cotton and Increase Mather. These two were very closely related and connected to the Salem witch trails. This was Bostons largest colonial burying ground and the second burying ground established in Boston in 1659.
