What Most Americans Do Not Know About the National Anthem

Why I will Never Stand for the National Anthem

What you do not know about the National Anthem. It glorifies the murder of slaves and was written by a bigoted racist. President Woodrow Wilson made the poem written by Francis Scott Key the national anthem, he himself was a racist and he signed legislation into law ...written by bankers...that is the cause of all of our financial woes today...the enactment of the FEDERAL RESERVE.

Key fought for slavery and his family made a fortune supporting slavery. As Washington, DC District Attorney, he inflicted many injustices on black people. He is a poster child of a racist.

Defence Of Fort Mchenry (Stars And Stripes Forever) -

Poem by Francis Scott Key

O! say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watch'd, 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.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havock of war and the battle's confusion

A home and a country should leave us no more?

Their blood has wash'd out their foul foot-steps' pollution,

No refuge could save the hireling and slave,

From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave;

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

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

O! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand

Between their lov'd home, and the war's desolation,

Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land

Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto - 'In God is our trust! '

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

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

Francis Scott Key
