The true national anthem



1. Oh say can you see the beauty of the morning light.

2. What so proudly we honored by the night sky shinning

3. Whose big and bright flag through the scary flight

4. O'er the bombs we watched where so happily flying

5. And the rockets red shine the bombs blowing up in mid air, gave evidence through the night that our flag didn't move. Oh say does that star shine banner yet wave. O'er the land of the people, and the home of the fierce.


The war of 1812: The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain. American colonists were angered over trade issues, and the taking of sailors. The war started in 1812 and ended 1815.

At the end of the war trade restrictions were lifted and the British lifted their impressment laws and the Chesapeake laws.

The Real Louis and Clark
 I give Louis and Clark a lot of credit especially when it comes to making maps, because making maps is a pain. I did not enjoy making the map, it was very hard getting everything to scale. It would be extremely hard to keep a detailed journal of all the places you've been, especially in Louis and Clarks time. I would enjoy exploring but defiantly not writing everything down.
