Key pens Star-Spangled Banner. On this day in 1814, Francis Scott Key pens a poem which is later set to music and in 1931 becomes Americaâs national anthem, âThe Star-Spangled Banner.â The poem, originally titled âThe Defence of Fort McHenry,â was written after Key witnessed the Maryland fort being bombarded by the British during the War of 1812.
