No, the flag at Fort McHenry was not held up by the bodies of dead soldiers. During the Battle of Fort McHenry in 1814, the flag was raised after the British bombardment, symbolizing the fort's successful defense. The iconic image of the flag, later inspiring "The Star-Spangled Banner," represents resilience and victory rather than a grim scene of fallen soldiers.
