Number 38 – They never got over the war of 1812

What Mr Grasse fails to point out is what the war of 1812 was actually about, it was caused because America, at the time, was trading with Napoleonic France, and murdering thousands of Native Americans just so they could get a foothold in the potentially valuable farmlands of the Northwest, because the British didn't agree with this behaviour we tried to stop it, causing the Americans to declare war.
The national anthem “The Star-Spangled banner” was actually a poem written about the attack on Baltimore, when Francis Scott Key saw the American flag waving above Fort McHenry. It was set to the music from an old English drinking song called “The Anacreonic Song”. The fact that this song was made the American national anthem in 1931 shows that it is the Americans who never quite got over the war of 1812, and not the British, who seem know very little about this period in their history.
