On September 14, 1814, U.S. soldiers at Baltimore’s Fort McHenry raised a huge American flag to celebrate a crucial victory over British forces during the War of 1812.

There would be an imbalance of the number of free states and slaves states, with the free states outnumbering slave states. This flaw would be one of the most prominent causes to the Civil War four decades later.
One of the ways in which English kings increased their power and reduce the power of the nobles was that they "strengthened the courts"--since this allowed more of their laws and decrees to pass.
