[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 345945, member: 735"] I think you are misinterpreting those lines. It's a common misconception/ mischaracterization. Francis Scott Key was not referring to the institution of slavery in America, brought here by the Brits btw who outlawed the freeing of slaves when some colonies attempted to move in that direction. The "slave" Keys was referring to in that line were American sailors, captured at sea by the Brits, and then pressed into service against their will on British ships. [/QUOTE]
