Haha. Me neither. I had very few notes on that one. The rest I'm noted up, though.
I pulled that one largely outta my...whatever.
Coulda been better.

Star Spangled Banner As You’ve Never Heard It
A story of how our national anthem came to be.
(great video of the story of Fort McHenry and Britain)
correction: Fort Henry.

I have seen this video before, and I really want to like it, but it mangles US history. The script refers to “colonists” in conflict with the “mother country”. This is a serious error.
The “Star-Spangled Banner” was written during the War of 1812. The United States was now a sovereign nation at war with Great Britain, which had ceased being our “mother country” with the conclusion of the Revolutionary War in 1783. Key wrote the poem that would eventually become our National Anthem in 1814.
