Er, Whatever....



The National Anthem was written during the American Revolution by a prisioner in the 'dungeon' of an enemy battle ship, and all he could see was the U.S. Flag whenever a bomb would 'burst' and that let him know we were still winning........ So what does Canada have to do with anything?

I don't know what they teach in Canada, but that had nothing to do with it.. nothing at all.. if they added just that little part into the whole song about something completely different then that doesn't make sense..

I'm sure.



Canada is just filled with narcissistic fools who would love to think we care enough about them to intwine them into our National Anthem.

Stop. You might hurt someone's feelings. Although, I guess you're right. That's why I love you, Jesus. You bring out the cold hard truth. :P

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, through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?





On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,

In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:

'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.


There, I did it for you.

And this is about the WRITER:



"In August 1814, Key's friend Dr. William Beanes was taken prisoner by the British army soon after its departure from Washington. Key left for Baltimore to obtain the services of Colonel John Skinner, the government's prisoner of war exchange agent. Together they sailed down the bay on a truce ship and met the British fleet. Key successfully negotiated the doctor's release, but was detained with Skinner and Beanes by the British until after the attack on Baltimore.



Key's vessel (name unknown) was 8 miles below the fort during the bombardment, under the watchful care of a British warship. It was from this site that he witnessed the British attack on Fort McHenry, after which he was inspired to write the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner."
