YouTube Description
as posted by the channelViral video just posted by a US rep shows a secret tunnel nestled under the floorboards of the US Capitol that, according to legend, was stormed by British soldiers in the War of 1812.
Congressman Tim Moore (R-NC) showed off the tunnel’s entrance in the Lincoln Room, which used to be the House’s post office during the Civil War president’s time in office, and explained that it is one of his favorite features to point out on tours.
