This docent at Ft. McHenry in downtown Baltimore gives an excellent summation of the Battle of Baltimore on September 12, 1814. After just burning Washington, D.C., the British set their sights on the shipbuilding city of Baltimore. Determined not to repeat the mistake that led to the burning of the nation's capitol, the militia in Baltimore stood firm on land and sea and won the Battle of Baltimore. Francis Scott Key, basically a guest trying to arrange a prisoner exchange aboard a British ship, saw the battle unfold and was thrilled to see that in the rockets' red glare, and by the dawn's early light, our flag was still flying, defiantly, over Ft. McHenry. The British withdrew and headed for New Orleans where they were dealt a defeating blow by future President, Andrew Jackson.
