The Americans defended Baltimore during the War of 1812 primarily through the strategic fortifications of Fort McHenry, which protected the harbor. In September 1814, British forces attempted to capture the city but were met with fierce resistance from American troops and local militia. The bombardment of Fort McHenry ultimately failed to breach its defenses, inspiring Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner." The successful defense of Baltimore marked a significant turning point in the war and bolstered American morale.
