The "Star-Spangled Banner," the national anthem of the United States, was composed in 1814 by Francis Scott Key. He wrote the lyrics after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. The flag that inspired the anthem was made in the summer of 1813 by Mary Pickersgill and her team, specifically for the fort's defense. The song was later set to music and officially adopted as the national anthem in 1931.
