The War of 1812
The War of 1812
ABOVE: Original writing of Francis Scott Key's poem, "Defence of Fort McHenry" which he paired with the tune, "To Anacreon in Heaven," to make the song we now sing as "The Star-Spangled Banner." Key wrote the song that became our official national anthem during the the War of 1812, a war fought between the young nation of the United States and the joint forces of the British with the Native Americans who were unhappy about unkept treaties and the British who wanted to regain control of the land and waterways in America.
