It's amazing how many people (including this one) who copied the soundtrack from the video by the pastor who made up all those wildly innaccurate parts of the story.
Here is another terrible inaccurate account of the shelling of Ft. McHenry, not Ft. Henry. This is a gross misrepresentation of American History. we were not colonies and Britian was not trhe mother country. the shipe hold were not full of prisoners and there was no stack of bodies holding up the falg. This should be taken off the u-tube as to not stter folks from the real story. stevroll
@farahnet1 He is neither a fool nor a liar. You are the fool for not knowing the history of your own national anthem. I'll bet you don't even know the name of the song.
Francis Scott Key wrote the LYRICS, but not the song. The song WAS an old English drinking song, and Key used it PURPOSELY to agitate the King of England because by doing so, he had stolen the tune of the most popular drinking song in all of England and he made it into the US national anthem. The king didn't like that at all.
The song dates from the mid-1770s and it was composed for a group of London gentlemen who had recently formed a social club. John Stafford Smith wrote the music , it's an old English drinking song.
FYI - Key lived in Georgetown - Fort McHenry open a new visitors center in March 2011 - visit sometime and get the factual story not this fiction
