The National Anthem of the United States of America is 'The Star-Spangled Banner'. The words were written on September 14 1814, on board a British frigate in Baltimore harbor, where the author, Francis Scott Key (1779-1843) had been detained after successfully petitioning for the release of a civilian friend. He was inspired to write the poem when he saw in the morning, the American flag still flying over Fort McHenry, which had withstood the British bombardment during the previous night. It has 4 verses and all of them end in “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”, meaning that America was built on the aspects of freedom and independence.

El Himno Nacional de los Estados Unidos de América es «The Star-Spangled Banner» (La bandera tachonada de estrellas). La letra fue escrita el 14 de septiembre de 1814, a bordo de una fragata británica en el puerto de Baltimore, donde el autor, Francis Scott Key (1779-1843) había sido detenido después de peticionar con éxito para la liberación de un amigo civil. Él se inspiró para escribir el poema cuando vio por la mañana la bandera de los Estados Unidos ondeando sobre el fuerte McHenry, que había resistido el bombardeo británico durante la noche anterior. Dispone de 4 estrofas y todos terminan en «O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! (Sobre la tierra de los libres y el hogar de los valientes)», lo que significa que los Estados Unidos fue construida sobre los aspectos de la libertad y la independencia.
