I propose that if the bridge is renamed, it be after Frederick Hall ( or his alias William Williams)…an escaped MD slave that rejected British offers to slaves to revolt and turn against America as mercenaries and receive British freedom
hence Key’s anthem verse referencing the hirelings and slaves that fought with the British in the War of 1812…which is totally over the miniature IQs of the people that don’t or won’t grasp the historical fact of the mention of slaves in verse 3 of the anthem
Hall/Williams enlisted in the militia that fought at Ft McHenry and was mortally wounded in the battle that inspired the Star Spangled Banner. His role and legacy is scarcely known, and that he fought and died for American freedom while a slave

“And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave.”
Key was writing a poem not only about the events of the naval bombardment of Ft McHenry, but also the failed British landing force and the Battle of North Point. The Battle of North Point wiped out a British led land force intended to attack Baltimore. Thus the “foul footsteps pollution”
