The star spangled banner was also called the Great Garrison flag. The star spangled banner was the garrison flag that flew over the Baltimore harbor at Fort McHenry during part of the War of 1812.
The word "spangled" is an old word that is not used much in conversation these days, except in the National Anthem. It means "having spangles". A "spangle" is a small and shiny object, often sewn onto fabric to use as a decoration. Probably, Francis Scott Key thought the stars in the flag reminded him of the stars in the sky, because the stars were glittering and beautiful; and seeing the flag still waving after a difficult battle in the war, was also beautiful to him.
The national flag that inspired the writing of the U.S. national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," was completed in about six weeks. It was made by flagmaker Mary Pickersgill and her team of seamstresses in 1813 for Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland.
