Right before the war of 1812 the British were having problems with France they stole some of our soldiers made them POWs and made them work on their British warships that along with the war of 1812 was the reason for the creation of the national anthem . So when it talks about slaves in the third part of the national anthem (the part that Gwen Berry is referring to )It is referring to the white soldiers that were taken and put on British warships (POWS) People should read history and textbooks before they spew off nonsense to the world . It makes our country look very stupid !!!
