Francis Scott Key penned the words to our national anthem while watching the British naval attack on Baltimore's Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. Key turned them into a poem, "The Defense of Fort McHenry." which he published in 1814.It was Key's brother-in-law, Judge Joseph H. Nicholson, who married the poem's words to the the tune of a popular English drinking song to produce "The Star Spangled Banner." The English drinking song was written in 1780 by John Stafford Smith.Fittingly, it was the US Navy that was the first arm of the United States to adopt the song as its own, in 1869. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson began to use it for official government business, and in 1931 President Herbert Hoover signed into law the resolution by which "The Star Spangled Banner" became the national anthem of the United States.francis Scott keyThe Star Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key.

The Star-Spangled Banner was written on September 14th, 1814. It was written when Francis was being detained, after the British naval bombardment of Baltimore's Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. When the bombing finished, Key saw the American flag still up, and that was when he began writing the Star-Spangled Banner.
Francis Scott Key, Francis wrote this song (actually was suppose to be a poem) on a ship, waiting for the war of 1812 to end. The British were bombing Fort McHenry, which was protecting the city of Baltimore, Maine. Mr. Key saw the bombs going off in the fort and he wrote a poem (now U.S.A's Natonal Anthem) about the fight. He was worried the flag would be down, which was a sign of surrender, but in the morning the flag was still up, and bigger than before. The fortess had replaced the flag for a bigger one.The song was adapted as The United States of America's Natiol Anthem in 1931.
