    Also keep in mind, that is was the same American flag, held by the Union, that freed the American slaves. America was only the 4th country in the world, at that time, to abolish slavery!

      It was the fourth country to outlaw the transatlantic slave trade. In actually abolishing slavery, the US was pretty late to the party, *after* every European country, every country in the British Empire and every country in South America except for Brazil.

      To answer your question. Yes, there are slaves now. I have never been one, but I have met some and I expect you have too, unknowingly. Quite apart from the issues of 'modern slavery' and third-world sweatshops, The 13th amendment forbids chattel slavery across the United States and in every territory under its control, *except as a criminal punishment.* All State and Federal prisoners on compulsory work detail (about 800,000) are *legally slave labor,* producing $11bn in goods and services annually for little or no pay.

      Keeping prisoners busy and productive is better than leaving them to their own devices. It's PUNISHMENT. It isn't supposed to be fun and it isn't a vacation. It's meant to make you not want to be there.
      Prison inmates aren't slaves, by any stretch of the imagination. People aren't being just scooped up and thrown into prisons for walking down the sidewalk.
      And most of the money generated goes to paying for things like survivors of violent crimes, deceased officer's families, restitution for property damage... things ruled by judges that the criminals must pay for as part of their sentences. The rest goes into running the prisons themselves.
      Imagine that... prisoners paying for their own room and board. You will never convince me that inmates are "slaves".

    Although the Star Spangled Banner is uniquely an American anthem, it is all of humanity's anthem. America has taken in more immigrants than any country at any time in history. America has sacrificed more of its people for the benefit of others, than any country throughout history. America has spent more money, provided more food, medicine, technology, freed more enslaved people, and raised more people out of poverty than any nation in all of human history. America has fought more wars for the benefit of other nations than any country throughout history. The Star Spangled Banner is not just an American anthem, it's all freedom loving people's anthem. That said, you should always enter legally and not just run across the border, like is currently going on.

      I suggest you read the battle report by the fort's commander (Major George Armistead), which is freely available online. It is a rather more reliable account of what happened rather than a *poem* written by someone who was EIGHT MILES away and never visited the fort afterwards, reinterpreted 200 years later by an evangelical preacher with a reputation for 'creative fiction'.
      There were no hundreds of people in cages on board the ships, no women and children in the fort, nobody died holding up the flag. The battle occurred, but bears no resemblance to this travesty.

    The difference was there 17 ships and 24 men held the flag. Fort had 1000 Soldiers. 4 died, countless others injured. No less brave. You're correct in the ways of the times and the struggles, however you guys must not have heard of the The First Rhode Island Regiment, an all black regiment during the war for independence. They played a major role in some key battles. There is also the “Black Rattlers” from WW1. A rattlesnake insignia adorned their uniforms, and they were called “Men of Bronze” by the French. The regiments came to be known as "The Harlem Hellfighters" It is believed that their German foes were the first to dub them “Hellfighters” for their unrelenting courage and ferocity. At first they were looked down upon before the war, because of the left over racism from the past. However, They definitely earned their spot in American pride, and came to be deeply respected.
    Dig deeper into our history. You'll be surprised at what you find. Most black folk in America have WAY deeper roots in this country than they realize, and tons to be proud of, even through all of the historical tests they were put through. One thing we all have in common today is that we are, above all else, Americans.... and historically, for better or worse, we've all spilled some blood for it somewhere along the line.
    It's no secret that black and Irish folk had a rough start here in America.
    However, today as Americans, regardless of color or creed, we always pay our bills in blood and we do it together.
    "The shared blood of battle is thicker than the water of the womb" We are all brothers and sisters under one flag.

    The term slave has its origins in the word Slav. The Slavs, who inhabited a large part of Eastern Europe, were taken as slaves by the Muslims of Spain during the ninth century AD. So the first slaves in the world were white. Slavery can broadly be described as the ownership, buying and selling of human beings for the purpose of forced and unpaid labor.

      Not RR. It's a recording of a sermon by a part-time pastor named Peter C Gibbs Jr (hence the 'Amens' heard in the background). This is just one of his speeches where he takes a rather flexible approach to the truth.

      If you read the description of the original video (channel 'Mona Rose'), they admit that it is NOT historically accurate. It is not a history lecture, but a recording of a sermon by a part-time pastor named Peter C Gibb Jr who (to put it politely) 'never lets the truth get in the way of a good story'. Just about the only accurate things in this story is Francis Scott Key's name, that there was a battle around a fort outside Baltimore (though he never actually gets its name right) and that the flag was flying the next morning. Everything else is a figment of Pastor Gibb's vivid imagination.

It is a far more reliable account than a *poem* written by someone who was EIGHT MILES away and never visited the fort, reinterpreted 200 years later by an evangelical pastor well- renowned for his rather flexible approach to the truth.
      Armistead specifically states that only the five 'bomb vessels' were able to fire on the fort, all others being kept out of range by the fort's higher guns. He also lists the damage done and the examples of bravery by men under his command: *the flagpole was not damaged and nobody held it up.* Even if they had wanted to, it would not have been possible: the flagpole was a 75-foot tall re-purposed ship's mast weighing over a ton. It would defy physics in the same way that a 6 foot man could not hold up a 42 foot flag.
      This fiction is just 'stolen valor', diverting attention from the four *real* patriots who died that day.

    The story is embellished, but the song was definitely inspired by this real attack. It would have been really cool if you took off your hat during the anthem. The song has nothing to do with race, but go ahead& bring it up, for no reason.

    The star spangled banner music was lifted from the Anacreontic Song. It was the official song of the Anacreontic Society…an 18th century ‘gentlemen’s club’ (elite) in London. Give it a listen. It’s a pagan song. Anacreon was a Greek poet in the 5th century BC…notable for his drinking songs & erotic poems😂

    All I'm thinking is how I wish Malcolm X had done the interpretation of the anthem - how much insight and humor there would have been gained from listening to him speak about it. But listening to this kind of approach makes me feel like I'm listening to an alcoholic justify their drinking. Kind of painful listening.

    Thumbs down for spreading this video. It's a complete fabrication.
    From the start:
    Conscripted sailors (on both sides) was one of the leading causes of the war.
    Key was not sent by the government to negotiate the release of American prisoners. He was hired by a family to negotiate the release of _one_ captive. There was no mass negotiation or deal.
    At this point, (this is the War of 1812), the British government already recognized the American Independence. The fort lowering its flag would not signify America's surrender.
    Fort McHenry. Fort Henry is in Tennessee and won't see action until the Civil War
    The entire British Fleet was not there.
    Even if they leveled the fort the war would not have been over. The river was blocked anyway.
    The fort was a military fort. It was not full of women and children.
    No one would have been under British rule if the flag came down.
    Key was left off down shore prior to the start of the battle. He wasn't relaying the battle to anyone on the ships. The next few minutes of the video are just make believe.
    Due to the range of the fort's guns only a handful of British ships could get within firing range of the fort.
    The flag was not directly hit.
    There were four deaths at the fort, not a "pile of bodies."
    (Seriously this whole part doesn't even make sense. Break a popsicle stick multiple times and then prop it up with sugar packets in place of bodies and it becomes instantly obvious how ridiculous that even is.)

      Although the naval impressment of sailors is commonly cited as the cause for the war, the US and British navies *both* engaged in the practice. USS Constitution, Wasp and Hornet are all known to have taken British and Irish seamen, either from stopping ships at sea or 'shanghaing' drunk sailors in port, while USS Virginia press-ganged 30 citizens of Baltimore, an act expressly forbidden by Maryland law.
      Matters came to a head with the 'Little Belt' affair in 1811, after which both navies suspended such 'recruitment', so the issue had been resolved well before the war started. Indeed, the States most affected by impressment (the maritime states of New England) actually voted *against* war in 1812. The 'War Hawks' in Congress who voted in favor of war were from the states of the south and west, and had the objective of annexing Canada in order to a) remove British influence from the continent and, more importantly, b) recapture the thousands of slaves who had been escaping to freedom in Canada.
      The idea that impressment was the cause of the War of 1812 is post- Civil War revisionism, which is not borne out by historical fact.
