A strong feeling of patriotism inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner.
He was watching a battle on a British ship (he was captured) and he saw a battle for an American fort going on. The explosions and rage he saw were inspiring, so he wrote a patriotic song.
he was a prisoner aboard a ship watching a batlle of the british and Americans, it was night so he couldn't see but with the light he had, he wrote a poem on a piece of wood descrbiging the battle, the whoole time he was wathcing the flag from all of the gunfure and cannon blast to see if it was still up or if it was being taken down for the british to rise theres
