Did you know the year 1867 was chosen as the year to portray at
#FortHenry because even though soldiers were stationed at the Fort from 1812-91, 1867 was the year of Confederation, when Canada became a nation, and when the Snider-Enfield rifle was introduced into the British army. The rifle was the first breech-loading rifle (loaded from the back of the barrel), representing a major advancement in weaponry.
