This is hilarious! She said, “am I American? I’m about to tear up”
This was during the war of 1812. This is why you never let the flag touch the ground. It is symbolic of that day when so many men died to keep us free.
Woahh.. I didn't think.of it that way.
@Matthew Kobukowski Redacted: I was looking at the wrong battle, not you.
@@n0madtv beyond the facts that Francis Scott Key, a lawyer and amateur poet) wrote the star spangled banner after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry ( part of the Battle of Baltimore in 1814) this story is 100% false. Actual facts as reported by the commanding officers of both sides follow: 1) Francis Scott Key went privately to a truce ship to secure the release of ONE friend, He represented no one else and was NOT sent by the government. 2) Francis Scott Key was not aboard the Royal Navy ships and never interacted with Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, thus the "ultimatum" is total fantasy. 3) Fort McHenry was most definitely a military installation with a garrison of 1000 men (plus a few wives of some of the officers and senior NCO's). 4) There were only 19 Royal Navy ships present- 5 bomb ketches, 1 Congreve rocket ship (that actually shelled the fort) escorted by 7 Frigates and 3 schooners, plus 3 smaller transports NOT "hundreds of ships". 5)there were only 28 casualties in Fort McHenry 24 wounded and 4 killed. 6) the flagpole at Ft McHenry was solid wood, over 150 feet tall weighing well over a ton. There is no way possible to manually hold it up. 7) The bombardment of Fort McHenry was in preparation for a ground assault - the British commander saw the flag flying and withdrew because he knew the shelling had not been effective and didn't want to risk a frontal ground assault on a such a strong defensive position. (In other words had many of the men died holding up the flag the British would have walked in and then we would have lost. All it takes is a little knowledge of military tactics and strategy, a little geometry and physics, and a little research on the battle to know this story is garbage. The fact that the defense of Fort McHenry quite probably did save the nation SHOULD be inspirational enough without making up a false narrative!
See my other post in this thread for full details - casualties in Fort McHenry 24 wounded and 4 killed. I'm pretty sure that the British would have been able to take Fort McHenry had any significant percentage of the garrison of 1000 men been killed by the shelling and we'd have lost. The defense of Fort McHenry is quite possibly a pivotal moment that very likely saved our then young nation, and that should be inspirational enough without making up garbage that's easily proven false
We have a thing in history... Ive noticed..
1812 our white house burned down.
1912 titanic sank and vacilla ax murders.
2012 the world was supposed to end.
Hmmn..
As a retired U.S. military war veteran, I thank you for watching this, and learning about our Anthem. Sadly, many Americans do not know this story. Americans are, overall, VERY patriotic! And, when I see people being patriotic about their own country, I smile, because I completely understand why. You SHOULD love your country!
Many Americans don't know this because 90% of it is lies
@@curtisw502 Exactly.
Because of this video that was made so many of the youth now know and the world how important freedom should be regarded… regardless of it being a fabricated tale, it instilled in us a sense of honoring and protecting freedom at all costs. Bless the man who put that minidoc together. The joy I feel and honor and respect I reflect on our past and present patriots. It was never about the flag itself but what it meant. It meant our freedom. And now more than ever are we at another war for that very thing within our country. We must remember what freedom truly is and how life means nothing without it. Let’s keep our home brave and free… and the world. God bless. ♥️
If you think this video was “our” history you drink propaganda daily.
So first off, don’t mean this as any disrespect to you, kinda just curious about your thoughts, I tend to find my patriotism when specifically thinking about the people and internal values of my nation, even if I don’t see many of those values actually being projected from our countries actions, nor being shown by our people.
It’s kinda made me lose my love for my nation seeing it grow ever closer (or maybe I’m just noticing now that I’m an adult) into a despotic corrupt figure.
But yeah just wondering what you’d think as a person who fought for the idea of a free nation
America fought and won its independence from Britain in 1776. This story took place in 1812 when Britain came back for round 2 to try and take the colonies again.
Yeah I don't know why the narrator said colonies instead of states
The Brits learned the hard way the American version of "Fuck around and Find Out" in 1812
@@SgtSplatter782 Don’t think so the brits burned the capital during those days and won many battles in the states the US was lucky because the british public were tired of war after the great conflict of the napoleonic wars for 20 years they’ve been fighting a brutal war in europe. So the british public halted the war and negotiate hence the armistice.
What nobody could see was the coup and counter coup attacking & saving the flagpole behind the walls of Fort McHenry. If there was a huge pile of patriot defenders holding up that flag, then where's their massive burial ground memorial? Did they all just abandon their defensive posts to hold up the flagpole? Point is that there was a shadow war going on back then too.
@@davebauman4991 the war 1812 was overshadowed by the Napoleonic wars
To this day when are flag is flown or lowered or changed it still is a thing to not let the flag touch the ground!, very important.
There is also a ceremony for when a flag is finally retired.
Why ?
Pride,honor but mostly respect for those that are willing to give there lives for are freedoms. Most of us enjoy these rights and privileges without always defending them so we make sure we remember and respect those that do. That is why so many flags are flown in the USA. It's not about throwing it in others faces...it's about respect.
Yes agree. If it accidently touches the ground it is supposed to be burned in a ceremony.
@@danhanner6486 yes honoring those who fought for us in the past and current. 💙
Whitney Houston sang the best national anthem rendition ever!
I’m keeping Ms. Houston and Mr. Ray Charles at the top of my list 👌🏽
Absolutely correct, in the studio. it wasn't live. She faked it.
Naw, Fergie for sure 😆
@@panjamysy She killed that… literally 🤣🤣
That's for sure!!
Thank you for reacting to this. It was very touching. Do you have any Korean history videos you could react to? Thank you, love your channel.
Yes! the exchange of history goes far for helping us understand one another.
Same! I want to learn more about Korean history
I’d love this so much too! 🥺
We are proud of the anthem it's a simple story of the foundation of what America is truely about..... I'll always continue to sing it loud and proud
Hello Chacha and Austin, This is my first time sitting in with you today, thank you for allowing me to do that! I enjoyed the time I spent here with you so I subscribed and left a like for you while I was here! FABULOUS reaction and thank you for playing this video and for all of the respect shown to my country!
America is a nation made from all nationality’s! We will remove the evil in our lands, and show the world that our love of mankind has no boundary. I have watched people from a lot of country’s react to this video, it warms my heart and soul to see ALL of them feel as you did. Love and blessings from America! ❤️🇺🇸🙏
America was over 90% White up until as recently as the 1960s. So that's a bit of a lie there
Think of your own country and what your own people did to fight tyranny and become free….then you too will Feel the patriotism of your own country….I read about others history and I love it and I am just as moved….
It’s interesting and amazing to think what the men at Fort McHenry went through during the British bombardment of it during that war. The British fired cannonballs that weighed hundreds of pounds, packed with explosives so it would explode in the air. I’m addition, the British fired rockets at the fort.
It's amazing that a bunch of colonists took on the biggest superpower of their time and won.
there were rockets in the early 1800s..?
@@1412Bunny Yes, rockets were used in India during the Anglo-Mysore wars between the Kingdom of Mysore and the British East India Company between the late 1700s and early 1800s. The Mysorean military used them for artillery support, and the British adopted their use for their own military.
@@1412Bunny yes they did. They were primitive, yet were effective back then. When fired, the rockets gave off a red glare, as reference in the song.
@@Johnny-rx4hs not really it was a sieze fire because the British public was tired of war, for 20 years they were at war with napoleon so british public wanted to stop the war in the america’s
This is why RUclips is making the world a better place.
Every time someone from outside of usa sees this, it makes me proud because those people realize what the flag and what it means to true patriots and proud citizens of the United States and why it's so important to us. THANK YOU
0:45 I will also now hear/sing it as 여보세요
this honestly made me tear up, i’ve never heard the story told quite so poetically.
this is why americans love their flag so much,,,this is the American spirit and strength
Anyone else love ChaCha as much as I do? Haha. She is definitely my favorite but honestly I really like all of them!
My favorite is Heejin, but they’re all amazing
Chacha is so freakin cute. major crush
Thank you for reacting to our national anthem. That flag has ever been a symbol of freedom and independence from tyranny; that all have the God given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There are those in this country who are taught to hate that flag and what it represents, just like the British did all those years ago; that anything outside of what their party's narrative permits is deemed offensive. The fight for freedom is an eternal one, and the freedom we have each day cannot be taken for granted.
👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
I absolutely loved it when she grabbed her chest and asked, "Am I American"?!
In my eyes I'd easily consider you an American. That's the beauty of our flag, regardless of race or creed etc,
Anyone, anywhere can fly under our flag that represents Freedom.
Just wish the world could all live happily and free nowadays.....
THANK YOU! we love all people and are willing to sacrifice our own lives for all
The fact that UK's national anthem was based of another patriotic song in America made me wheeze.
MY COUNTRY THIS OF THEE
Hi, U.S. ARMY vet here. Wow! This was great. I loved seeing your reactions! Yeah, it hits home whenever Americans hear it. No matter where we grow up. There's so many different people and cultures here, the only thing we agree on is that 🇺🇸 will never hit the ground. It's a thing here. 😆 Subscribed!
If you would have listened instead of talk through the entire story, you may have understood what it means to be an American, and how proud we are of our very young country.
Since the U.S. is a land containing many peoples, cultures and races symbols like the American Flag unite us and bind us with common purpose. KIA soldiers are returned home with their coffins draped with the flag and the flag is ceremoniously folded and presented to their family as a token of esteem sacrifice and service.
I feel like the flag really doesn’t represent all races and cultures:/
I was born in Czech and my family moved to America when I was a baby, but I am proud to be an American citizen. My father said we moved from a home, that had so many bad memories and where so much was lost, to make a fresh start. WWII left an empty space in my families hearts and lives.
The flag represents one culture and every race under that flag, and that’s American culture and it’s people.
@@d3vilsreepers880 A lot of cultures chose not to embrace it or it's meaning. But it's there for them exactly the same as everyone else, if they chose.
@@d3vilsreepers880 yeah but it should... Cause American till this day is supposed to be a land of humanity united under one banner (not saying all culture or country as one but you know but humanity as one)
“The flag doesn’t wave because of the wind, but it’s because of the breathes of the men who died for that flag.”
I always get choked up listening to my country's national anthem. Makes me very proud and patriotic!
Slavery filled the earth through serfdom and trade, but the flag being lowered, meant the Americans on land, were surrendering and were returning back to slavery under a British monarchy. But they had a taste of freedom and were never going to be slaves to any monarch, ever again.
Though, the Star Spangled Banner is uniquely the American anthem, its truths are universal, meaning that it is humanity's anthem and why those who are drawn to the truth of freedom at all cost, bravely lay down their lives for it, so that others could immigrate here and above all other nations, finally have freedom. And think of how freedom traveled around the world, because America was free and helping others to be free. Americans have many times, in many battles, held other nation's flags high, so their lands too can be free, by the continued sacrifices of their brave. 🇺🇸
"Am I American??" made me crack up.
WOW.I never knew this story,man I was crying my eyes out!!! LOL.😁😁People standing fast under enormous pressure,that british commander was sooo determinded for submission.BUT,all that tension produced was resolve!!!
Everyone that believes in freedom America is in your hearts
If you ask, "Am I American?" the answer is yes! You are American. You just haven't come home yet.
I shed a tear pride every time. I'm proud to be an American 🇺🇸. My family goes back to medieval England and the colony of Virginia my ancestor was a continental general in the revolution.
I felt similar respect for the Korean people when watching the film "Tae Guk Gi".
As an American it’s so interesting hearing what people like from Korea think of the US. Great video
The ROK are Patriots as well. I know that many times your people wouldn't give up their flag to the North. Maybe it isn't the same but I'm sure the Korean people know about freedom and it's cost. I had a great uncle there and it was very hard on him. I think of the story and movie about the student soldiers defending a middle school and how they gave everything for 11 hours to defend their country, warriors who stood their ground. They defended their flag as much as we did here the US in 1812,in this moment. Honor them and remember them. To all who have fought and some who gave all for liberty,Thank you.
I think that their reaction on how beautiful are horror movies actors in real life is the best. Exemple for Bill Skarsgård,Finn Wittrock,,Jared Leto, Delphine Chanéac or Bonnie Morgan,…
Love you my Korean brothers, miss being in Korea, I was in Camp Red Cloud back in the day.
Thank you for sharing this to the world. As an American I am very proud of this Country and what it stands for. Many people either abroad or here at home will try to bring us down. But we stand strong and we will fight for what is right. Or the Red White and Blue will come raining down you like if it was the 4th of July.
🇺🇸
By the title I thought they were going to play Whitney Houston singing it lol. That would’ve been a good follow up to hearing the “regular” version
Nobody will ever sing it better than she did. We should just make the official anthem her rendition specifically 😄
@@katiekawaii Nope, the anthem sounds best when sung by a chorus instead of a soloist.
Much love from Almost Heaven WV, USA 💜💜💜💜💜
Every nation has legendary moments. That one is ours. We are very proud of it!
To answer the young lady’s question, “Am I American?” No, but you certainly can be, if you so desire! All patriots are welcome here!
Amen!
Yay! Cha Cha is back!
This is a perfect example of what makes my country the country it is! Americans have had the same pride and dedication since the beginning. That’s why we’ll fight to the death or beyond for our colors. For our beliefs. This story tells everyone how Americans have felt from the start. The revolutionary war was during our country’s very beginning and the Americans then had just learned that pride and loyalty. And since then we’ve had plenty of time for that pride to grow! So that’s what you’re up against when we set out to defend ourselves and our allies
These people are so cute to see how moved and touched they were by this story amidst the current climate heating up the US. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am so proud to be an American! I am proud to be from Baltimore where the National Anthem was written! Here in Baltimore we scream O for our baseball team the Baltimore Orioles!
Now we all know that the best version of the National anthem was sung by Rosanne! 2nd would be the guy in the movie "Sum Of All Fears".
This is why we feel such patriotism. Such a fight and so hard won. I'm so proud to be an American.
I like the US anthem, it sounds so good.
That exact flag still exists, is cherished, and can be viewed in Washington DC in the Smithsonian Museum of American History. It is only uncovered a few times a day at certain times. It is extremely fragile.
The American spirit is alive and well.
Sadly It's dying in America.
Uhhhh this was not what I learned in history class. They just said he wrote a poem on the boat after witnessing the battle when negotiating for POWs and that was it.
And even that's not completely accurate. Francis Scott Key went privately (with permission from president Madison) to secure the release of one friend (a prominent DC doctor and mutual acquaintance of the two). The rest of this is complete fabrication. Fort McHenry was definitely a military installation with masonry walls 13 ft thick, roofs of similar build, plus earthen parapets, a garrison of 1,000 soldiers and mounting 20 heavy guns to seaward (18, 24 and 32 pounder cannon). There were only 19 Royal Navy ships, not "hundreds" and the majority of the shelling was by only 6 - 5 bomb ketches and 1 Congreve rocket ship. The escorting ships (7 frigates, 3 schooners plus 3 smaller transports) only briefly closed range to fire, but withdrew after being hit by highly accurate (for 1814 of course) return fire from the fort. What gets me is that assertion that men alone held up a flagpole 9 stories high weighing over a ton. What a load of garbage.
Great reaction video, thanks for doing this one! 👍😁
This story of the Star Spangled Banner is not just about the USA, it is for all free people everywhere be they Americans, Koreans, Japanese, everyone's fight for their freedom
I honestly tear up seeing the flag because this story is so meaningful to me. 🥺🥺
In 1812 when this war happened, America was only roughly 40 years old as a nation and nowhere near a superpower we are today. Britain was still the dominant force in the world at the time. We were literally taking on the world bully and refusing to bow.
Thank you for this God bless
Bro what a miracle, I wanted these guys to react to this. Like a few months ago
This is the earliest I’ve been omg
The flag originally measured 30 by 42 feet (9.1 by 12.8 m) and weighed about 50 pounds. You can view it at the National Museum of American History in Washington DC.
I think people wonder why we play this song before every sporting event ect.. I believe so we never forget those who gave ALL for our freedom. Freedom to enjoy simple things like a ball game!
"Am I American?" - You are in spirit, yes. Freedom. Freedom is the key. It's the American way. The right way. The human way. We should, and must all be free, and Americans will absolutely fight to remain so, no matter the cost. Because freedom is a priceless, timeless treasure. From a US military combat vet, thank you for taking the time to learn about our Flag and anthem. It means a lot to me that you did.
This event happened during the war of 1812, NOT the revolutionary war, the place is actually called Fort McHenry and it is still located on an island in the Baltimore Maryland harbor, today, it is a museum, and that flag is still there on display, DURING the war of 1812 the British still considered the United States of America to be their colonies and called them the colonies till after the war was concluded, This is why so many Americans like myself and many others place such value on our great flag, we understand the very high price that was paid for us to have that flag, I and many others are quite willing to fight, bleed, kill and die for that flag, and will do it without a second thought or a single regret.
A week ago, Warren Buffet talked in BBC on how investors and traders can make millions.He recommended an Expert called "Virginia". Wondering if viewers here are familiar with her services...?

This video made me cry so much. I'm going to show my students this clip.
Considering the video is 90% inaccurate, I'd hope not. Before you show "students" anything, go actually look up the real history so you don't misinform anybody. In fact it's simple - go to the original video they reacted to and look in the description where it says it isn't historically accurate and where it links you to the actual events that really took place, almost none of which is in this video.
@@exzander The history isn't entirely accurate, but the sentiment and theme are. I like how you put "students" in quotations as some morale high ground. Perhaps the teacher would be able to show the true history of the defense of Fort McHenry and how FSK wrote it into the National Anthem.
@@Largeysize It's quite literally 90% inaccurate. It's not "not entirely inaccurate", it's REALLY, REALLY inaccurate. The theme or sentiment is irrelevant, you can get both of those by teaching the actual, true, factual story of what happened. Not the make believe fiction that is in this video.
I had never hear this. Makes me even more proud to be an American 💙❤🇺🇸
You never heard it because most of it is false.
@@strangeworldsunlimited712 I know there are a few discrepancies (Like he messed up the name of the fort in the story) but to say the story as a whole is untrue, I would have to see some evidence. Do you have any reputable sources?
My father was an ROK Marine during the Korean War, and my mother's family came to America in the 1700's. I think our national anthem here in America is easily relatable to a South Korean, us both having to fight for our freedom. Us, from the British, and Koreans from the Japanese and Communists from the north. Both of our countries sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears for our freedom from tyranny.
Aye been waiting for a reaction from you guys 😊👍
Thank you for your heartfelt comments. I am proud of the values the US was built on. I wish todays government still had those values. But I believe that the majority of Americans still carry those values today. I'm proud that the US helps protect other countries. I enjoy watching your reactions. Bless you and stay safe. ❤🇺🇲❤
Values like genicide
And slavery?
@@USGBB-eh3vg tell me that there hasn’t been genicide in Africa, China,Vietnam, I am sure there’s other countries that did it too.
@@BigMateo24 other countries have been involved in slavery.
@@1908oceanworld right? Like the other countries/continents did it too. Why couldn't the US as well 🙄😒
I actually went to Fort McHenry in March. There were clear blue skies, but it was early morning so a little chilly but we were the only people there. It was really fun, so I recommend going!
Yes! And pay attention! You'll learn the real history. That's inspiring enough, we don't need to revise history with this kind of made up bull. That flagpole standing there today is an exact replica of the one that was there in 1814. It's 90+ feet tall and weighs over a ton! There's no way humanly possible to manually hold it up, much less prop it up with 4 dead bodies.
This video about the anthem has a bunch of historical inaccuracies, unfortunately, I'm not sure why it keeps circulating but it does. Just to point out a few: 1) the anthem wasn't written during the Revolutionary War, it was actually written in 1814 during the War of 1812 (still fighting the British tho, so that's correct), 2) During the War of 1812, the United States was a country with 15 states rather than being colonies, 3) As far as we know there were no groups of American prisoners being held in the cargo hold of boats, Francis Scott Key was there on a personal mission to free his friend rather than on an official one from the US government, and there are more inaccuracies beyond those 3.
Believe in magic muggle.
Thank You
I love how everyone who learns the story behind our Anthem has the same reaction. it's not a song about war, it's not warmongering, it about defiance. That no matter the odds we will not submit. it is about our flag flying no matter the cost because as long as that flag flies we are free.
I’ve been to Fort Henry in Baltimore for a field trip, I live in Maryland so it’s not that far away. It was really cool to learn about the meaning behind the anthem, and walk around the fort. There are old cannons there and other antique items
Really? Fort Henry is in West Virginia. Fort McHenry is in Maryland . AND if you had actually been there and paid attention, you would know that this video is NOT entirely true, in fact the only thing accurate in this video is that Francis Scott Key wrote the star spangled banner.
That video was so full of historical inaccuracies I don't know where to begin
Ironically, most do not know this story, most don’t even know the war it comes from! 😂 The War of 1812 is known as the “Forgotten War” probably because America mostly lost to the British. 😅
I lived near there growing up and we used to take field trips to the National History Museum where the Fort McHenry flag is now kept. It was torn almost completely to shreds, but it held together.
한국 사람들이라면 이 영상을 보면서 미국에 대해 동질감을 느낄 수 밖에 없지
식민지배를 당했던 아픈 역사를 가지고 있다는 공통점이 있으니까...
한국은 일본에게... 미국은 영국에게...
그리고 이겨내고, 해방이 되어서 지금에 이르렀다는 점도...
Yes I am glad you feel connected. I am an American but I wanted to point out an error. Americans were not colonized but we're the colonizers to the native people already there. We revolted when the British began to treat us poorly and used us as a resource and not as citizens.
The colonization of native people in America is still a dark past we are trying to accept, but it is still a great feat that a small group of Americans were able to survive and win against the best navy in the world at that time
I really really want more videos about other countries fight for independence and their national anthems too.
This has been reviewed all over the internet. It contains many inaccuracies and fallacies. There were no colonies at this point in U.S. History. The U.S. Constitution was in effect, the country of the United States had been born, this was NOT the Revolutionary War it was the War of 1812 (sometimes called the Second War of Independence). Francis Scott Key was sent with another individual to negotiate for the release of an American Doctor. Britain was fighting the Napoleonic Wars at this time and had been thus pre-occupied as the they forcibly pressed American Seamen into British service to maintain a blockade on France and French possessions. Key did successfully present proof that the American prisoner, the Doctor in question, had tended both British and American wounded and secured his release. There is no proof that Key visited any other prisoners or was aware of their plight. The normal flag flew during the night throughout the bombardment and was replaced at morning revelry by a handmade oversize flag made in Baltimore (currently on display in Smithsonian Museums in Washington, D.C.). Four men died at the fort and possibly 28 additional wounded. No humans died holding up the flagpole. This gentlemen did no research or fact checking and is a fundamentalist minister with a political agenda and sloppy on history. The inspiring survival of the flag and fort after such a massive bombardment did inspire Key to write a poem later set to music and it did officially become the U.S. anthem in 1931, an act of Congress signed into law by then U.S. President Herbert Hoover. See Star Spangled banner, Fort McHenry, Battle of Baltimore-War of 1812.
It's an example of romanticizing an event to inspire people, but the big takeaway here is that Key was greatly moved by what happened, which inspired him to write those lyrics. Of course, the lyrics don't mention the flag being help up by soldiers. That "fact" came later in retellings.
"fundamentalist minister with a political agenda"
If that is even true, what does that have to do with this particular video? and what political agenda? to be proud of your history and country? is that a political agenda or are you referring to something else?
Thank you! So glad you wrote a correction. I would only add one thing. It's my understanding that it was a small 'storm flag' that was flown the night of the battle due to the weather. In the morning, they raised the normal, much larger garrison flag - not an "oversize flag." It is that flag, the garrison flag that is on display. The storm flag has been lost to history. Cheers!
@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams The inspiration is the heart of the story the inaccuracies are so appalling as to dispute the accuracy of the story's actual significance. This wasn't a romantic retelling it was just sloppy hype. Totally unnecessary. Google searches would have yielded more accuracy. You can't confuse wars, setting, events, etc. and then say, "oh just excuse me it is the emotion," that is accurate? No more Trumpian facts, Rupert Murdoch reporting, . . . history has been recorded not invented.
Which is why I have a huge problem with this video.
@ossc you guys should hear Whitney Houston singing this at the 94 Olympics…. It’s awe inspiring
Ji Sung Park is a United legend.
I was holding a m16 and a barreta the entire time watching this video
I enjoyed the Korean youth and their patriotic spirit for Korea. Presented youth at their best. Go USA and go Korea !
I’m ex US Navy and I would die and give my life for this country…!
이번 영상도 재미있어요 항상 재미있게 봅니다!
thanks for the reaction I love this
Whoever the lady is behind the camera that be teaching yall. She does a really good job and I on behalf of all my fellow Americans. I want to say thank you very much as I give you a standing ovation. You really are enriching our world in a correct and efficient manner Bravo good job. And I don't just mean only this episode. I have always said America needs exactly what your doing. Sewed into our immigration and citizenship platform. Sometimes , alot of times it can be disappointing feeling sometimes seeing foreigners reaping and raping all they can from my country and the don't even know or care who George Washington is the have no desire to learn about the history of the country that has takin them in and gave them refuge and safety. Most don't care about the Civil rights movement or the Boston tea party. Whatever you get the point. But what your doing with them is awesome cause if and when they come to America. There gonna have a step ahead. And they won't be disrespectful towards our heritage and culture. In fact I suspect they will be able to hold a conversation about American history. Won't that be a welcome change. Wow I long for that day . Thank you teacher lady behind the camera I say once again. Also show yourself at least once come take your bow. I want to know what you look like. I'm picturing short American Caucasian with blond curly hair. In fact yall shoulddo an episode with the whole and speak about the origins of the show . How it came together , who's the brainchild of the show, that would be a good show I think . Your fans got questions about the show.
The thing about America is that regardless of nationality we are ALL Americans! It combines all the good people from all nations into a force to be reckoned with 💪
That Flag that flew over Fort McHenry still exists in a Permanent Protected Display at the Smithsonian Institute and Museum in Washington DC
Now I don’t mess with the pledge because I think it’s weird but like. Star Spangled Banner? Amazing, musical masterpiece. I hear the first few notes and I’m ready to fight the British
If you love freedom then yes you are American. America is more than a country. America is a Hope and determination to overcome tyranny.
When you said the colonists in the fort could have just put the flag up when it was knocked down made me chuckle but it’s not because I am laughing at you at all!! America has many traditional rules about how we treat our colors. One of them that most people adhere to is that the flag should never touch the ground. I grew up in a military family so I know that particular standard all too well. I just realized that I never really thought about why we have these guidelines until just now. I’m gonna have to look it up but my thoughts are we can’t let it touch the ground because of this story. It couldn’t touch during this battle and our colonists didn’t let it during an event like that so the least we can do now is hold it up as well which isn’t hard to do when you aren’t getting bombs thrown on you (while knowing you’re going to die for it) .
The irony of these prisoners being held in ships is not lost on me.
The story’s still amazing though.
That's not irony. They're called prison ships. They were very common during that time. Benjamin Tallmadge (part of Washington's spy ring and the major of the 2nd Continental Light Dragoons) had a brother who died on one (his crime? Being a patriot). There are similarities between slave ships (what you're thinking of) and prison ships, which is another reason why this is not an example of irony.
what's ironic about it?
This was the War of 1812, the colonies had already become states, and Francis Scott Key was going to negotiate to get a doctor friend released, not a ship of prisoners. The video is factually inaccurate.
A correction on the history. This all did take place, however the war this takes place is not the American Revolution, but the War of 1812 (A war that was an attempt of the British to reclaim their former colonies.) Another interesting fact, the Star Spangle Banner did not become the national anthem until 1931.
I love your reaction videos with much love from usa.
"Americans are not better than anyone else. We are just everyone else."
When hearing the national anthem, American civilians put their right hand over their heart. Veterans and active duty military come to attention and salute.
And that for many reasons, we fly this flag, our flag a lot in America.
Remember, the American anthem is not a song of violent aggression, folks. It is a song in defiance of it.
