🧩This Week's #ConnectionCheckers War of 1812 Challenge 🎆
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/97mKRBeJR_U
On September 12, Maryland celebrates Defenders Day — the anniversary of the American victory at Fort McHenry, the battle that gave the United States its national anthem. This week's game, sponsored by the Maryland and Military and War projects, features twelve notable figures from the War of 1812.
Francis Scott Key wrote the words. Mary Pickersgill sewed the enormous flag he saw still flying at dawn. Dolley Madison rescued Washington's portrait before the British burned the White House. Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison both went on to the presidency. Laura Secord walked twenty miles through enemy lines to warn the British of an American advance. And several of the twelve fought on the other side entirely.
Which of them is closest to you on WikiTree's Big Tree? Check your connection, then try to verify it. In seven days, three members go into the Connection Checkers Hall of Fame: shortest verified path, longest verified path, and most verified connection steps.
New to the game? You don't need to know where to start. Post the connection you plan to attempt and the community will help you work it out.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the #nationalAnthem of the #UnitedStates. The lyrics come from the "Defence of Fort M'Henry", a #poem written by American lawyer #FrancisScottKey on September 14, 1814, after he witnessed the bombardment of #FortMcHenry by the #British #RoyalNavy during the #BattleOfBaltimore in the #WarOf1812. Key was inspired by the large #USFlag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the #StarSpangledBanner.

Today was my first bike ride down to #FortMcHenry since the #KeyBridgeCollapse. I knew what to expect as I rounded the turn, but it was still stunning.
It was also the most crowded I've ever scene the park--but maybe that was because of the Orioles game?

Brought my #sextant to #FortMcHenry for some #celestialnavigation. Got my latitude within ~3km and longitude with ~18km. The latter would have been better, but I was using my cyclecomputer for a timepiece, and it doesn't report seconds.
I also sighted the Key Bridge while I was out there, got my distance within 1%. Math rules.

First #bike ride out to #FortMcHenry this year. Lovely view of the #Baltimore harbor, and I had the seawall path to myself in this weather. #cycling #biketooter
