Quote:If you say so, but, having never heard or even read the verse before:

 

"No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,"

 

sure sounds like the [BAD WORD REMOVED] the Americans were kicking were those of mercenaries and escaped slaves.  And right or wrong, Key was happy about it.  If you were a slave and got to the British side, you were free.  Free to fight against the system that enslaved you.  Our national anthem celebrates vanquishing the dreams of those slaves.

 

Not that it matters.  Any verse but the 1st of the national anthem is kinda worthless anyway.


Try reading the whole stanza including the phrase before that one? They weren't escaped slaves, they impressed conscripts forced to fight for the British. Impressment by the Royal Navy was a key, no pun intended, reason for the conflict, the same with Jefferson's fight with the Barbary Pirates some years before.
“An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
