Defenders Day in Baltimore-- Part 1: Battle of North Point and Fort mchenry

From Wikipedia.

Is a legal holiday on September 12 in Baltimore, Maryland.  It commemorates the successful defense of the city September 12-14, 1814.

In September 1814, just three weeks after the burning of Washington, D.C., the British Army, under Major General Ross landed at North Point, near present-day Fort Howard, and began an advance on the city from the southeast.  They were met almost immediately by American forces, commencing the Battle of North Point.

Later, Fort McHenry was shelled and, of course, "The Star-Spangled Banner."
