This Day in History: 09/13/1814 - Key Star-Spangled Banner. In this This Day in History video, the 9/13/1814 writing of the Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key is recounted. It was inspired by the British bombing of Ft. McHenry during the War of 1812.
Here's a refresher course on the history of the âStar-Spangled Banner.â. The banner. The poet Francis Scott Key described a giant flag that flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore. National Park Ranger Jim Bailey points to a replica of that flag that's 30 feet tall and 42 feet wide. Each of the 15 stripes is 2 feet in width, or as Francis Scott Key would write, 'very broad,' and each of the stars measure two feet from point to point, or as Key would write, 'very bright'. So the broad stripes and bright stars of the 'Star-Spangled Banner' are not a poetic exaggeration of Key.
