It truly is. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

I usually give a thumbs down for spreading this video. But just know that it's a total fabrication. From the start: Conscripted sailors (on both sides) was one of the leading causes of the war. Key was not sent by the government to negotiate the release of American prisoners. He was hired by a family to negotiate the release of _one_ captive. There was no mass negotiation or deal. At this point, (this is the War of 1812), the British government already recognized the American Independence. The fort lowering its flag would not signify America's surrender. Fort McHenry. Fort Henry is in Tennessee and won't see action until the Civil War The entire British Fleet was not there. Even if they leveled the fort the war would not have been over. The river was blocked anyway. The fort was a military fort. It was not full of women and children. No one would have been under British rule if the flag came down. Key was left off down shore prior to the start of the battle. He wasn't relaying the battle to anyone on the ships. The next few minutes of the video are just make believe. Due to the range of the fort's guns only a handful of British ships could get within firing range of the fort. The flag was not directly hit. There were four deaths at the fort, not a "pile of bodies." (Seriously this whole part doesn't even make sense. Break a popsicle stick multiple times and then prop it up with sugar packets in place of bodies and it becomes instantly obvious how ridiculous that even is.)
