How "The Star-Spangled Banner" Became the National Anthem
Inspired by the sight of the American flag after battle, Francis Scott Key wrote “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Its vivid imagery captured the spirit of survival, symbolizing the nation's push for freedom. In 1931 – more than 100 years later – it would become the official national anthem of the United States.
