The Star-Spangled Banner was written by Frances Scott Key on September 14, 1814 after he was held captive during the bombardment of of Fort McHenry. The fight had lasted 25 hours and when it was all done, Key looked out and saw the large Garrison Flag still flying and he was inspired to write it.
Yes, soldiers did hold up the flagpole of the Star-Spangled Banner during the defense of Fort McHenry in September 1814. The flag, which was a large 15-star, 15-stripe banner, was raised to symbolize resilience and defiance against British forces during the bombardment. The sight of the flag at dawn inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem that would later become the national anthem of the United States.
A rampart is a large defensive wall, such as those surrounding a castle or fortress. In this instance, it refers to Fort McHenry.
The "Star-Spangled Banner" is challenging to sing primarily due to its wide vocal range, spanning over an octave and a half. The song includes several large interval leaps, particularly in the transition from the lower to higher notes, which can be difficult for many singers. Additionally, its lyrical phrasing and rhythm can complicate timing, making it tricky to perform confidently. These factors contribute to the song's reputation as a difficult piece to sing well.
The bombs fired at Fort McHenry during the War of 1812, particularly in the Battle of Baltimore in September 1814, were primarily 200-pound explosive shells. These artillery shells were designed to explode in the air, creating a devastating effect on the fort's defenses. The bombardment inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner," which reflects the resilience of the fort amidst the heavy shelling.

A banner is a flag or standard used by a military commander, a large sign made of soft material or fabric, or a cause or purpose.
It depends on what type of banner you are inquiring about. If you want a banner similar to a large sign that hangs on a wall, you can easily draw your own image on a large piece of paper and hang it on the wall. If you want a custom website banner for promotional reasons, you can hire someone who has graphic design abilities to work with you to create a custom image that you can upload to your website.
AnswerKey wrote the song as a prisoner from the hull of a ship in a harbor watching a fort be shot to hell by the British. The song was ment (and succeeded) to bolster support and morale for the war. This war was one of those that was over before it began, the treaty ending the war was signed two weeks BEFORE the major battle was fought! (Mail was slow in those days!)
There is really no maximum width to a outdoor banner as far as manufacturing is concerned. The rolls of material used when producing banners can be as long as 164' and if the banner needed to be longer the material could be seamed together. The limitations to the width of a outside banner depends upon installation limitations, and more importantly local regulations that may restrict, or require permitting for extremely large banners. Safety issues could arise if a very large banner was improperly installed, and pose a danger to people or property in the area of installation. Checking with local authorities should be one of the first things you do when planning to use a large outdoor banner, as well as finding a bonded professional for installation.
