    About Drunk History:
    Based on the popular web series, Drunk History is the liquored-up narration of our nation's history. Host Derek Waters, along with an ever-changing cast of actors and comedians, travels across the country to present the rich tales that every city in this land has to offer. Booze helps bring out the truth. It's just that sometimes the truth is a little incoherent.

And also raise your hand if you’re ignorant of the fact that Europe and America alone (ALONE) created the concept of race-based slavery, which was specifically used to justify a slave trade that transported 12 million Africans to America-of which 2 million died on ships. Keep your fucking hand up, thanks.

    Correction: They left out the part where Key watched as they executed the slaves who ran from the attack(verse 3) because they were basically being used as human shields. He praised the "freemen" who stood strong. I think we're all aware of what the term "freemen" meant in 1812. Also, I believe the musical arrangement did not occur until the late 1800's/early 1900's as the original title of the four verse poem is The Defense of Fort M'Henry and the title of The Star Spangled Banner did not occur until almost 100 years later.

    • @Seanenanigans
      @Seanenanigans Рік тому +1

      You are correct with the first part. However you left out the part where it was also not just slaves fleeing; as written in the original poem. Also, using them as shields? Would like to know your source on that on.
