Just said a prayer of thanks to the Almighty.
He decreed that 200 years ago today, the fledgling nation called the United States of America would not be allowed to revert back to British domination, but would remain free, and to fulfill its destiny as the shining beacon of freedom to the world.
The song Has 4verses The first verse and the question that is only answered in the fourth verse. Inexplicably are dumb downed nation only knows of the first verse which is a shame because it is nonsensical without the other three.

One of the best ever.
I think the Battle of New Orleans is what sealed America’s independence. I know a peace treaty had been signed before the battle even took place but that really lopsided win put the stamp of victory, and strength on the treaty.
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good
with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine
!O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Changing the anthem now would cause liberal DemocRATS' heads to explode all over the country. Not only the mention of God but for other lines in the lyrics as well. It just doesn't fit their "What's In It For Me" fundamentally transformed America.
Imagine this played to a video of a landscape of rioting, ISSI beheadings, out of work lines, bums on the street, everything that is Wrong With American under Obama.

“O, Jose, can you see? [Si!]”
There was a very good program this morning on C-SPAN3 (American History channel) about the Battle of Plattsburgh on Sept. 11, 1814. According to the speaker, the British were hoping to drive all the way to New York City and the invasion force greatly outnumbered the defenders in Plattsburgh. It was the naval battle in Lake Champlain nearby that decided the issue and caused the British to return to Canada. If the invasion had fared better the British intended to demand in the peace treaty that the US give up its territory north of the 43rd parallel (which would mean Maine, most of New Hampshire and Vermont, and a large part of upstate New York.
