"Lowering the flag to surrender" Bullshit, the guns firing back were the signal the fort had not been destroyed. What else, quotes were blatantly misattributed because it's a pastor putting words in people's mouth's. The history is mangled, the honor of the people who defended that fort is mangled because apparently their bravery isn't good enough so we need to lie to make them look like martyrs. And lie to make their enemy look like monsters, rather than normal people fighting in a war that we declared (for good reason, but this is just a set of patriotic lies).

The British were not trying to get the United States back under British rule. It was the United States that declared war on Britain in 1812, not the other way round. In fact the British ignored the declaration and just carried on trading normally ( 80% of US trade was with Britain) until the United States invaded Canada in July of that year. It wasnt until after the *fifth* attempted invasion of Canada that Britain made a concerted invasion of the US in 1814. At the time of the battle of Baltimore, peace negotiations were already taking place, after Washington had been burnt.

"The land of the free and the home of the brave". This is my country and God bless her. The person narrating this song is America's 40th president,Ronald Reagan.

You mentioned the movie The Patriot. Interesting enough, much of the movie was filmed in upstate SC very near me. The house the family lived in is an actual structure in historic Brattensville SC. The house and property were once owned by a promenint Dr. and can be visited and toured. In the movie a battle takes place in a field in front of the house. In reality the field sits behind the house and a two lane road is in the front. The field was super imposed to appear in front. Many of the wooded scenes were filmed in King's Mtn State and Federal park. The ocean front scenes were shot near Charleston SC.

I would never ever expect a foreigner to do so, but my gut reaction to seeing you watching the flag during the anthem was “why isn’t his hand on his heart??” Haha, it shows you the pride I have in my country. Not in my president, or my government, but in my countrymen who died and still would die to keep us free.

I'm from a military family myself and I have great respect for our service members. And I have great love for the American flag. It's not the wind that makes the American flag fly, it's the last breath that of each soldier who has died for our country. 🫡🇺🇸🪖

When the National anthem was written, it was America's second war with England. It was the War of 1812. The movie"Patriot" was based on America's war of independence, circa 1776.

Jono, i have played severeral of your videos. You are one if not my favorite reviewer. I am 73 years old. My father took us from our native Mexico in 1961. At the age of 18 i applied fo e citizenship. On December 9th 1968, i was summend to the Federal Court in NYC to be sworn a citizen. This was one if my proud days in my life. No matter what, i am an American. My parents and I came here legally. I dont like the idea that currently the goverment has let us all down by removing the borders of this country. My opinion.

Thank you for watching this. My father taught this to me. He was a huge history buff. He loved this country! That story is slightly incorrect, but the majority is correct. One thing though, The Patriot was about the American Revolution. This was the war of 1812.

This is why we do NOT disrespect the flag. It has a proud history representing freedom from its inception. Too many men and women have lied down their lives in her defense. God Bless America.
