Inspired by what he saw, Key wrote the poem “Defence of Fort McHenry,” which became known as “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The poem would be set to a popular melody at the time, “To Anacreon in Heaven,” a British drinking song. At dawn the next day, Key saw the American flag still being flown over Fort McHenry, which meant that the British had not captured it and the Battle of Baltimore had been won by the United States. After negotiations were concluded he was not allowed to leave because the British feared he would compromise their position.įorced to spend the night aboard an enemy ship, Key watched and heard the bombing of Fort McHenry. On September 13, 1814, Key was aboard the British ship HMS Tonnant negotiating a prisoner release.
Francis Scott Key, an American lawyer and amateur poet, wrote the poem that would become the anthem after the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812. Origin of the Anthemīy now, the story of the song’s origins is widely known. Not everyone was a fan of the song at the time and today many believe it contains racist overtones. On March 3, 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed the law that would officially designate “The Star-Spangled Banner” as America’s National Anthem.
