the British tune "To Anacreon in Heaven". Both the Army and Navy adopted
the song and considered it the national anthem. In 1916 The Star Spangled Banner

American History: The story of The Star Spangle Banner and song Lyrics by
Francis Scott Key
The
History of the Star Spangled Banner
Major George Armistead, The commander
of Fort McHenry, knowing that Baltimore's Fort McHenry would be a prize target
by the British, had an oversized flag of fifteen stars and fifteen stripes made
for the fort. This custom made flag flew over Fort McHenry for over a year before
the night of the bombardment that inspired Francs Scott Key writng down the poem
The Star Spangle Banner.
This is the story of the night that inspired
Francis Scott Key to write the poem The Star Spangle Banner.
During the War of 1812 Francis Scott Key was sent to the British fleet in Chesapeake
Bay to secure the release of Dr. William Beanes on September 13, 1814. Dr. William
Beans a local Maryland official had been placed under military arrest by the British
during a raid on Washington to release a British Soldier who had been arrested
for being drunk. Key retrieved Beanes, but his ship was detained because the British
were preparing to bombard Fort McHenry.
What had This Local Official
Done? Why Did The British place Dr. William Beans under Military Arrest?
Dr William Beanes had arrested two drunken British soldiers. One escaped, and
a small force of British Soldiers in a raid descended on Upper Marlboro, Maryland
to secure the release of the other British Soldier. Beans was simply doing his
job by placing a drunk under arrest. He should not have been placed under British
Military arrest for doing his job as a local Maryland official.
All
Night The British Bombarded Fort McHenry
Key was forced to
wait and watch as the British attacked Fort McHenry. Fort McHenry tried in vain
to return fire but their cannons were too small to reach the attacking British
Ship. The Americans on the detained ship waited through the night to see if the
fort had been captured.
The American Flag, Red, White
And Blue, Stars And Stripes Still Stood!
Dawn broke, and Fort
McHenry's large flag still flew bravely in the morning breeze. Inspired by the
moment, Francis Scott Key jotted some notes on the back of a letter in his pocket.
Later in his hotel room in Baltimore, he completed a poem, an ode to the night
the British attacked Fort McHenry.
Sing
along to the words online to the song The Star
Spangle Banner
O say, can you see, by the
dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose
broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts
we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs
bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. O
say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and
the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen
thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence
reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully
blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's
first beam, In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream: 'Tis the
star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the
home of the brave!
And where is that band who so
vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home
and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has wash'd out their foul
footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the
terror of flight or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in
triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O
thus be it ever when free-men shall stand Between their lov'd home and the
war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise
the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when
our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!" And
the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and
the home of the brave!
