on august 24 as a british begin to move which was right at a river crossing a place to the british could cross the river defending washington and bring the forces around to capture the capital, by the time the forces for a clear they were literally racing from washington to reach the right place in they were arriving at the same time as the british after their serious of brilliancy. so if you look today you can see the shops and the places but if you close your eyes you and look at the terrain and go there with a map you can visualize how the battle took place. the hills with the british attacking coming up and crossing where their river is today where the bridge is they came across there. the american forces actually put up a strong fight under commodore joshua barney one of the real heroes of the story. i will not go into detail right now but he was the finest american fighter out there with some him in a few marines almost single-handedly turn back the british assault with a very vicious cannons and fire. when we talk about the racist everybody laughs a and says the americans and turn
