The "Star-Spangled Banner" was written during the War of 1812, specifically during the Battle of Fort McHenry in September 1814. Francis Scott Key, who penned the lyrics, witnessed the British bombardment of the fort and was inspired by the sight of the American flag still flying after the attack. The song later became a symbol of American resilience and patriotism.
