The Star Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States. It was written as a poem by Francis Scott Key in 1814, during the defense of Fort McHenry in Baltimore during the War of 1812. A spangle is a decoration sewn into fabric or clothing (think along the lines of sequins). In this case, the star spangles are the stars in the upper left corner of the flag of the United States (the flag is the "banner", which is another word for a flag). The national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" actually has four verses, but only the first is commonly sung. The last two lines of the first verse ask, "Oh, say, does that star spangled banner yet wave / O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?"
