"Where are the British soldiers what swore to take our home and country from us? Their blood has been shed and fills the footprints left by them on our shores erasing the presence they once had here. There is no place to hide, no refuge for them anywhere. They will loose the battle they began."

Expanding on this a bit: the words "hireling" refers to Americans recruited by the British to fight on their side, and "slave" to actual slaves who went over to the British on promises of freedom. Many of them deserted their masters to spy, scout and fight against them. After the war, the British refused to repatriate the slaves, resettling them in Bermuda or other islands under their control. Francis Scott Key was a slaveholder, and as a US District Attorney vigorously prosecuted abolitionists.

I need a definition of the star spangled banner for third grade students?

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?"
