War of 1812 & SSB

The War of 1812 happened because: 
July 1805 - the British were interrupting the American trade
January 1806 - the British get a hold of the American ships and vessels


Outcome: 
June 1812 - Americans declared war on the British on impressment 
December 1814 -  A peace treaty called Treaty of Ghent was signed by both parties which ended the War of 1812



Background Knowledge of Star Spangled Banner:
The Star Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key. He wrote this song because of the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. This song is to cherish how the American flag still stood through the disastrous fight. 

Rewrite of the Star Spangled Banner: 
Look at that light in the sky
We proudly look at it glowing
Those red stripes and illuminating
stars standing through war
We watched the battle over the wall in which the flag was still waving
Fires are shot and bombs exploding
Through all of this, the flag still stood
That is one tough flag
Our land is of liberty and courage
