14 sett 1814 anni - Star Spangled Banner Written

Descrizione:

Francis Scott Key was the poet who wrote "The Star Spangled Banner" in 1814 during the War of 1812. It was written while watching the Americans defend Fort McHenry at Baltimore. The view of the U.S flag remaining high and flying after the fierce bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy ships in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry became the imagery representing the nation's strength and perseverance. The event became immortalized with the piece of literature and became the lyrics to the U.S national anthem. The significance behind this poem lies within its role as an important part of the American identity.
