The War of 1812 is the war you seek.
The Star Spangled Banner is the US national anthem.
The National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, was written by Francis Scott key during the war of 1812 while being held captive on a British ship. It was not chosen as our national anthem until the first time the US went to the Olympics in 1896. The Olympic committee said we needed an anthem to play if we won- so we chose the Star Spangled Banner over America the Beautiful. Good thing we had a national anthem after that, because we owned everyone there.
The US National Anthem is not a funeral dirge. Too many artists over "perform" the anthem, nearly dragging it into a ditch. The National Anthem should be sung as a celebration. Not up tempo, but straightforward and proud.
Because our veterans are the ones who make it possible for us to sing our national anthem. That's why!
The National Anthem of the US is The Star-Spangled Banner; America the Beautiful is a patriotic song of no official standing.
The US National Anthem ("The Star-Spangled Banner") was written during one of the battles in the War of 1812, between the US and Britain, and references the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Fleet in September 1814.
Francis Scott Key wrote a poem called "The Defence of Fort McHenry". Key witnessed the fort in Maryland being bombarded by the British during the War of 1812. In 1931, it was set to music and the first stanzas became the US National Anthem.
I hope you mean the US national anthem. If it is, it was written by Francis Scott Key when he was on a british ship overseeing the batlle of Fort McHenry during the beginning of the Revolutionary War. When he wrote this, it was in the form of a poem and he sold it to a local newspaper for a relatively low amount of money and was later cirrculated accross the colonies where it was later given a tune and adopted as the national anthem.
The Star Spangled Banner, written by Francis Scott Key during the siege of Fort MacHenry in Baltimore, Maryland during the War of 1812, adopted as the USA national anthem in 1931.
Illinois is a state and does not have a national anthem. A "nation" has a national anthem. The national anthem of the US is "The Star Spangled Banner".
The National Anthem of the United States is a hymn of praise, wonder, and hope, upon finding that Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor had withstood a night-long bombardment by the British Fleet during the War of 1812 and had not surrendered.

The "Star Spangled Banner," written by Francis Scott Key.
The words of the national anthem, name The Star Spangled Banner were originally a poem written by Francis Scott Key, called "Defense of Fort McHenry". He wrote this after witnessing British Ships bomb the fort in the War of 1812. It was written to commemorate the fact that although the British launched a surprise attack on us, they still couldn't defeat us, and all through the night, while the bombs and guns fired, our flag never fell, and neither did we.
The USA adopted the national anthem in 1931.
