I had a very energetic music teacher in elementary school that acted out Francis Scott Key stuck in a room asking everyone around him if they could look out the window and see which flag stood, the only light in the pitch black night was from the bombs bursting in the air. He knew if the star spangled banner was no longer standing they had lost, so they each kept a lookout all night long waiting to catch a glimpse of which flag was still there. It was all about a guy looking for a flag.

I grew up in NJ and now I live in Georgia, and I am raising my children here.  It was interesting to help my children study an entirely different take on the civil war than what I learned in school. Opinions and even facts are hued by who's glasses you are looking through.

Caco...  Here to help. I am going out in a limb and saying I am not the only history teaching coach on here...  Check your wars...  Might want to edit or delete! Lol.
