This in-depth, episode entertainingly chronicles the remarkable story behind the writing of the U.S. national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner." It vividly details the historical context of the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key's role as an eyewitness to the British bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814, and how that experience inspired him to pen the immortal verses that went on to become one of the most iconic patriotic songs in American history. The article explores the anthem's lasting cultural impact and powerful ability to unite the nation across generations.
