Description:
Curt and Lucy take an amazing trip in the Imagination Station back to the year 1812. They witness the British General Ross's tragic capture and torching of Washington, D.C., the British Admiral Cockburn's epic bombardment of Fort McHenry, and the composition of our national anthem by a young lawyer named Francis Scott Key.
Questions:
Lucy said she doesn't understand all the fuss over flag burning. Do you? Explain your answer. Why did we fight the War of 1812? Name some other examples of how God "preserv'd us a nation."
