Battle of Baltimore - Fort McHenry successfully staved off the British invasion of Baltimore by sea while the Battle of North Point was fought on land.
It is a tradition that when a new flag is designed for use by the US, it is first flown over Fort McHenry, over the same ramparts referred to in the National Anthem.
Birthplace of the National Anthem
"O say can you see, by the dawns early light," a large red, white and blue banner? "Whose broad stripes and bright stars . . . were so gallantly streaming!" over the star-shaped Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore, September 13-14, 1814. The valiant defense of the fort by 1,000 dedicated Americans inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner.

I don't want to hear 1812 music. It's lousy. And please don't play the Star Spangled Banner either .Not trying to be Unpatriotic, but, it's a dreadful song as well. Good video. Never been to McHenry. Maybe no need to go. You covered it well here.

Just turn off the annotations. I agree they are in a bad position though.
