Do you realize the national anthem is edited, we only sing the first verse. We don't include its outlook on slaves who wanted so badly to be free they fled. That mindset that we were wrong, traitorous for fleeing and joining the British if promised freedom, rather that to be owned, beaten, killed, made to work for profit never seen.
there are many theories as to what that verse meant. of course you accept the one that fits your narrative. and regardless, that verse is not in the national anthem, and that was written in 1812. I hate when people take societal norms of one time period and apply them to today
