The Glenn Beck Program - The War of 1812: From Ashes to Anthem | The American Story | Ep 12

America declares war on the most powerful empire on earth and almost immediately discovers it may have picked a fight it cannot win.  This is the story of how America’s second war for independence erupted into disaster, humiliation, and legend.  Washington DC is engulfed in flames. Dolley Madison races to save a priceless portrait, while an unknown clerk rescues the nation’s founding documents.  Francis Scott Key witnesses Fort McHenry through the smoke and writes the words that become “The Star-Spangled Banner.”  And in New Orleans, Andrew Jackson turns personal vengeance into a stunning battlefield victory that forges a stronger American identity and reshapes his own future.
