The Star Spangled Banner is historically accurate, because the man who wrote it Francas Scott Key was an eye witness who wrote the anthem was caught in the middle of the war. He watch for days as the Americans and the British battled it out with bombs and rockets…. Did you know that even though we sing the national anthem allot at major events, most people don’t even stop to know what it means! Well I’ll give you my interpretation. Down below will the real verse and the underneath that will be a verse for people to actually understand written by yours truly….
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
As dawn approaches in the sky the soldiers cheer in there victory before the night is gone. They saw the flag stood strong threw the war. They watch the earth beneath them become cratered from the bombs debris. They watched the rocket’s explosion and the bombs shattering above them in the sky. The flashes of the bombs and rockets shined light on the darkened fort and you could see the flag stayed raised in the air as the strips and stars blew in the wind. From that moment on we were free of the British and the brave soldiers that fought for us can once again return home.
