francis scott key health tawney become the u.s. attorney general, then secretary of the treasury, and then the chief justice of the supreme court to roger tawney went on to write the dred scott decision in 1857, which effectively legalized slavery and hastened the coming of the civil war. francis scott key and tony were inseparable political figures, and influential and important that is totally forgotten. in washington, there is a bridge that crosses the potomac river, and right by where it is is a park where francis scott key used to live. in the park, there are exhibits devoted to him. there is one that says, francis scott key was active in antislavery causes. this is flat wrong. it is completely wrong. it would be more accurate to say that he was active in suppressing antislavery causes. this is to remind people of all the things that we really don't want to remember about our own history. this is also a book about the real francis scott key, but i don't want to get the wrong impression. this book is not a polemical book, not ou

ironically francis scott key was a slave owner himself. i'm not saying he was categorically a bad guy. i'm saying history is the way it is. when we see the american flag, for many generations it is the flag of freedom, but if you were enslaved, the british flag would be the flag of freedom. there were thousands of african-americans that went to the british side. however, this is baltimore. baltimore had the highest population of free african-americans and many of them did fight and contribute to the defense of baltimore city, for them the the "star spangled banner" was the flag of the free. in our hat eventually nation's history everybody would be free. just different perspectives on this. on a day like today with a spyglass, armstead could look over the wall and see the white sails of the british ships and realizes he has to do something. reinforcement will brought in. it is my intention to have a flag so large the british will have no difficulty seeing it from a distance. hey, if the british want to have these invasion scares, we are goi

the bombs bursting in air as francis scott key could write. give you a cross section of two men who were killed in this battle. fortunately, there were only five killed in the bombardment. but two of the five, one side is a lieutenant levi clagett. was a very rich baltimorean. he served as a volunteer militia officer. his name is on the battle monument. he was mortally wounded with a shell fragment through his neck. he was remembered. another man, william williams, his real name was frederick hall. he was born enslaved in southern maryland. he joined the american army. he changed his name so his master couldn't track him down. fate brought his army unit to fort mchenry. a regular u.s. army infantry regiment. and the shell landed where that regiment was posted. it severed his right leg and he would die a couple weeks later. two guys, right. one is one of the poorest guys, probably if you asked him master he wasn't even considered a citizen of the country he just died for. the other guy is a rich guy. his name's on a monument in baltimore city.
