This Day in History: 09/13/1814 - Key Star-Spangled Banner. In this This Day in History video, the 9/13/1814 writing of the Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key is recounted. It was inspired by the British bombing of Ft. McHenry during the War of 1812.
This flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, was the country's national flag for about a quarter of a century, from 1795-1818. It was this flag design that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner, during a battle in the War of 1812. The Flag Act of 1818 restored the 13 stripes to represent the original colonies, whereas the number of stars matched the number of states.
