 The Star Spangled Banner was written during the Civil War. Our interpretation if this peice is: 1st paragraph - How the flag helped them get through the hard times and the fighting. It never represented failure but instead freedom and bravery.

2nd paragraph - Its the first thing they see as the sun comes up reminding them of what they're fighting for. Whether your by the shore, or in land they flag will always stand tall representing freedom and bravery.

3rd paragraph - Through fighting and confusion this land will always remain our home. Free of bad people, frightened escaping slaves, and fear of dying. The flag with always come out on top.

4th paragraph - Freedom we will gain and will keep with us. We will be blessed with victory and peace and the heavens above will rescue us. Power to the US will be restored and our nation wll be preserved because we trust in God and know that good will prevail.

Throughout the entire peice the flag represents the United States, its government, and what our forefathers meant for the US to represent and beleive in.
