The U.S. National Anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner, was written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key. Key was sent to the British fleet in Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812 to secure the release of Dr. William Beanes on September 13, 1814. Beanes was captured by the British during their raid on Washington D.C. Beanes, a local official in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, had arrested two drunken British soldiers.
Although the poem has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today. The Star-Spangled Banner was recognized for official use by the United States Navy in 1889, and by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 (46 Stat.1508, codified at 36 U.S.C. Â§ 301), which was signed by President Herbert Hoover.his article is about the national anthem of the United States. For the flag that flew over Fort McHenry, see Star-Spangled Banner (flag) .
