The defense of Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, Maryland, USA, took place then, mostly during the night between those two dates. On the 14th, a lawyer who witnessed the bombardment, Francis Scott Key, wrote a poem about it, called "The Defense of Fort McHenry". The name of the poem was later changed to "The Star-Spangled Banner," and it was set to music. The song was adopted as the United States national anthem in 1931.
