O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

How a Poem Became the National Anthem The Story of The Star-Spangled Banner

The War of 1812 is often referred to as the Second War of Independence because it

was yet another conflict between the United States of America and the United Kingdom. After gaining our inde-

pendence through the Revolutionary War {The War of Independence} in 1783, the US was quick to want to prove

that we were a nation capable of defending ourselves. So, when the conflict between France and England was

brought to our very own doorstep in 1812, we did not back down. Instead, we engaged in a three-year war that

resulted in very little except an installation of national pride and proof to other nations that we could hold our own.

It also provided us with the basis for our National Anthem.

Francis Scott Key was an American attorney who was being held captive aboard a British ship in the

Chesapeake Bay. During his captivity, one of the biggest battles of the war took place and Francis Scott Key was

witness to an incredibly strong attack against the city of Baltimore. British ships bombarded the city for twelve

straight hours but when, in the early hours of September 14, 1814, the Americans hoisted their flag for all to see,

Francis Scott Key knew we hadn’t lost the battle.

Inspired by the wondrous sight that proved his country’s success, Francis Scott Key began to compose a

poem that attempted to explain the pride he felt for his nation. In the end, his poem consisted of four verses and a

total of 32 lines. After sharing it with a family member, he was encouraged to have it printed in order to share it

with all of the soldiers in the area. Soon after, it was also printed in the newspaper with the title Defense of Fort

McHenry. It also included instructions on how to sing it to the popular tune of Anacreon in Heaven which was a

well-known song written by John Stafford Smith in the 1770’s.

The lyrics and tune were eventually published under the name The Star-Spangled Banner and as the

nation grew in size, the song grew in popularity. In 1889, it was declared the official song of the US Navy and in

1918, it was played during baseball’s World Series. In 1931, Congress voted to adopt The Star-Spangled Banner

as our National Anthem.

ANSWER

TWO


O say can you hear, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we found at the twilight's last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the peaceful fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gently streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the fireworks bursting in air,

Gave proof through the fog that our flag was still there;

O say does that spot-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the place of the brave?
