In the War of 1812 between the British navy and American forces, which fort defended Baltimore?

The Maryland militia defeating the British at this time was significant because the British had just burned Washington DC and thought victory over the US was going to be easy.

Player Meyer, the British didn't even burn the library because they didn't want to destroy any personal books belonging to freemen.

love this game but don't like the obsession with war

Player Meyer, Absolutely correct, I'm from Maryland so its tough in middle school.

I only knew this answer because there is a sign for Fort McHenry on I-95 as you pass Baltimore.
