Two people visit Fort McHenry in Baltimore and discover their host doesn't know it inspired the Star-Spangled Banner. They discuss the War of 1812, the British attack on Baltimore Harbor, the burning of the White House, and how Dolly Madison saved a portrait of George Washington.
You see it one time. We didn't go inside.
Yeah, but that's where the Star-Spangled Banner was. But see, he didn't even know about that.
The guy who lives there, the people we visited.
They didn't know that?
He didn't know that. I'm like, let's go to Fort McHenry. What is in there? You don't know what that is? I know what that is. Because when we were driving by, I didn't know it's in Baltimore, but when we were driving by, I was looking on my GPS, I'm like, Fort McHenry. And rang a bell in my head. I'm like, hold on, that's about, that's where the Star-Spangled Banner was like inspired by it.
You gotta remember the War of The War of 1812, now think about Baltimore and Washington, D.C. War of 1812 is when the White House burned. Dolly Madison got the George Washington painting out and he became the hero because of what all she saved that was in the White House. So the British came in and did Baltimore Harbor and then attacked Washington, D.C.
We didn't know then, but it was nice. He was even impressed because she had to work, so he took us. And I'm like, okay, let's go to Fort McHenry.
