Answered by ExamLex AI

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States. It was written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 during the War of 1812 and officially became the national anthem in 1931. The song holds historical significance as it represents the resilience and determination of the American people during a time of conflict. The lyrics describe the defense of Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor during the War of 1812, and the sight of the American flag still flying after a night of intense bombardment. The song has become a symbol of American patriotism and unity, and is often performed at national events and ceremonies. Its historical significance lies in its representation of American pride and perseverance in the face of adversity.
