Why was Francis Scott Key in Maryland when he wrote the Star Spangled Banner?

Francis was not in any state because he was on a ship trapped in the Chesapeake bay. The British ships would not allow his ship to leave the bay. However other accounts say that Francis wasn't on his original ship, but a prisoner upon a British vessel when he wrote the Star spangled banner. Which, by the way, was originally a poem, and not a song.

What is the star spangled about?

The song, originally a poem written by Francis Scott Key, is about the aftermath of a battle in Baltimore during the war of 1812. Francis Scott Key boarded a british warship, which was part of a fleet about to attack a fort guarding the Port of Baltimore, to secure the release of a friend of his, a civilian doctor, who was being held by the british. While the british agreed to release his friend, they held Key and his friend until after the battle was over, so that they could not give away details of the attack beforehand. As Key stood on the deck of the British ship, he looked for any sign or whether the british attack had taken the fort or if the Americans still held it. As the dawn broke, he could see the fort in the growing light, and the US flag still flying over the fort.

Was francis Scott key in war?

Francis Scott Key never served as a solider in any war. However he was an American lawyer during the War of 1812. He was aboard the British ship HMS Tonnant, as the guests of three British officers to negotiate the release of a prisoner, Dr. William Beanes. Beanes was a resident of Upper Marlboro, Maryland and had been captured by the British after he placed rowdy stragglers under citizen's arrest with a group of men. Unable to leave the ship and unable to do anything Key watched the bombarding of the American forces at Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore on the night of September 13-September 14, 1814. On his way back to his home in Baltimore Key was inspired by the previous nights battle and penned a poem what is now known as the Star-Spangled-Banner or the United States national anthem.
