This is one of the reasons we NEVER let the flag touch the ground. EVER!! Thanks to your mom for her expression of caring. Much appreciated. As we say in Texas; Be safe. If you didn't know, Texas was an independent country that chose to join America. The only country to do so in the history of the United States.

It's also why patriots are mortified when non-patriots who call themselves Americans, burn our flag. It's unforgivable.

...ever heard of the Kingdom of Hawai'i? Arguably, the Republic of Vermont as well. It was self-declared as an independent nation, but I don't believe any countries ever recognized them as such.

[@weseld1]

@@richdiddens4059 The Bear Flag Republic being the name adopted by Californians after they declared independance from Mexico, during the Mexican-American War. Many (but not all) of the revolutionaries were American immigrants who had the same legitimate complaints about the Mexican governor as the non-immigrants.. For 25 days in 1846 (June 15 to July 9) this breakaway state from Mexico militarily controlled an area north of San Francisco, in and around what is now Sonoma County. It was never recognized as an independent nation by any other power (not surprising, given how far it was from any other power!) However, the Bear Flag Republic gave at least a shadow of legality to the US annexation of California.

[@ThisIsMyYoutubeName1]

This has nothing to do with the fact we don’t let it touch the ground. The rules for the flag was written in the mid 1900’s if I’m not mistaken, like 1940’s. This video is amazing if it was based on facts

Except this story of it isn't true. Very few people were killed in this battle and the flag was NEVER help up by the bodies of the dead. IT DID NOT HAPPEN LIKE THIS!

[@weseld1]

This story of The Star Spangled Banner, while stirring and patriotic contains many errors. For one, the War of 1812 was not fought between Britain and the "Colonies" but between the United KIngdom and the United States, which had already gained their independance in the treaty ending the American Revolution 29 years earlier (ardent patriots would insist they had been independent since the Declaration of Independence in 1776, but by 1789 all of the "13 colonies" had become "States" and the United States was a recognizes nation by all powers.

Great video and thank you for your respect. much love back to the United Kingdom and our cousins abroad.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Key wrote the poem on the back of an envelope, while imprisoned on a British ship, watching the bombardment. Later, it was set to the tune "Anacreon in Heaven"....a pub drinking song. As a retired Marine of thirty years, this song still stirs me...not to hatred or anything like that, but just to pride in my country...no more nor less than anyone else would have in their own country. And...I now live in Maryland...just a short drive from where all of this happened.

Not fighting for land, fighting for freedom

[@0101tuber]

Yes, the sort of freedoms the Brits are currently being denied if one follows the current news...

[@MrMcGiblets1]

This happened during the War of 1812, where we were, in fact, fighting to take Canada. England was again fighting against the French, and the English needed sailors to man their warships. They would board American ships and take anyone they considered a British subject even if they had become American citizens and in thousands of instances, they took American born citizens. To combat this impressment of Americans into the British Navy the Republicans under President James Madison planned to take Canada and then return it in exchange for the Brits to stop taking Americans, to recognize our rules of citizenship vs their rules of subjugation. So many people think the Star Spangled Banner was written during the Revolutionary War and many more than that don't know anything about the War of 1812.

[@relaxationmeditation6583]

It was over land but it was over land for freedom to prosper so I'd say it was for freedom of the captured pow's,countries citizens, and spreading the new profound freedom through the world. Even if we were forcefully acquiring land, the country was just made so how else to make sure our new free country can combat the Empire of the British?

[@thomasgriffith2953]

It was a fight against the King of England who was taxing the American colonists without there being representation.

Yes, that "perilous flight" part is particularly offensive. It makes it sound like we were running away.

[@EvoDevo2004]

James didn't add the text. He is reacting to someone else's errors.

The war of 1812 was started mostly because of England grabbing US sailors and impressing them into the royal navy. England wasn't giving America their due respect claiming these men were originally British citizens they were merely taking back, although many of them were born in America.

Not a lot of people know/remember that part. Or that, that is what is being told about in one of the verses. The 4th (?)

Thank you! God bless.

As an American if this doesn't make you teary eyed nothing will. Our forefathers weren't perfect but who is. The price of freedom isn't free and so often this is forgotten.
