10 mars 1814 - Francis Scott Key writes "The Star Spangled Banner"

Description:

As the US fought the British in the War of 1812, Key wrote the poem that the United States would come to claim as its own. He wrote it at a crucial point in the war in which the US people rose up to the defense of the nation. The future national anthem later became a symbol of the United States and national unity, indicating a turning point in how the United States thought about themselves and their national culture.
