I had to watch it again to catch the “Henry” error but the reference to colony vs state is being a bit too picky IMHO.. Any sunstantial errors that you know of?

Referring to colonies is not too picky - using the term, colonies, places the conflict in the Revolution.

Also, Francis Scott Key did not write a song - he wrote a poem, “The Defense of Fort McHenry.” It was put to music later to an existing tune, “To Anacreon in Heaven,” often referred to as a British drinking song.

Key was not there on a government mission for prisoner exchange. He was there for a friend that had been arrested but he did get Pres. Madison's approval first.

Those were errors in just the introduction....
