"...rockets red glare, and bombs bursting in air...gave proof through the night, that our Flag was STILL THERE!!!!"Interestingly, those rockets that the British were firing during this period of the "War of 1812" were acquired in India in 1799 when the British beat the Tipu Sultan. The British didn't have that technology at that point.
