Open question to Americans?

We were fighting the War of 1812 against the British.

1814 The commander of Ft McHenry flew the new flag over the fort to signal our victory against the British at the battle of Baltimore (MD)

1814 Francis Scott Key was so impressed by the flag, he wrote the Star Spangled Banner as our national anthem.

By the way it is very difficult for the average person to sing. Regretfully most people probably don't even know all the words.

I appreciate the fact that you are aware of our history!!

Fancis Scott Key wrote it.

It was written in 1814

During the war of 1812 in which we were fighting the British

Also, the actual tune was based off of a British drinking song. Key just wrote the words.

Key wrote it as a poem during the war of 1812 against the English.

All I know is that it was Francis Scott Key and it was during the war of 1812.

1812, Francis Scott Key, the UK.

and set the to tune of a drinking song!
