About this ebook
The War of 1812 and an American victory inspired Francis Scott Key to write his famous poem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," which later became the national anthem of the United States. The events surrounding the war and Key's poem helped establish the American flag as a symbol of patriotism and freedom. Remind readers of our nation's strength and perseverance through engaging historical content, carefully leveled text, and full-color images.
