      Thanks. I looked it up. Very interesting how Francis S. Key used an old bar shanty that originally commemorated a greek poet, the myrtle flower of the goddess Venus/Astarte & the drinking of white wine.

      Nice song, difficult to understand the lyrics, but when you learn the history of what the lyrics describe that's when it gives you the chills to know of the bravery of these men that with so little resources and training you realize the courage that they had to fight the giant oppressor. @@katdelrio5316

      Well yanks are basically British so it's not that weird. The founders were all Englishmen for the most part. US law is built on English common law. Etc. Most of them don't deny it. But just like the song was morphed by changing the lyrics into something new, so have those original British colonists been morphed by the march of time and subsequent immigration into a new identity.

    Other national anthems had origins from other countries, too. Examples: Het Wilhelmus - the oldest national anthem in the world - the anthem of the Netherlands - was a French military marching song; Hatikvah - from Israel - was a Romanian folk song but an Italian dance before that.

      Oh you referring to the map and the flag? It's correct.
      Thats the flag of Great Britain. It was just England and Scotland (Wales was part of England). The flag was just a combination of England and Scotland's flag no diagonal cross. Act of Union was 1801. This is 1700s. None of Ireland was in the UK.

    It just amazes me that even though we declared our independence from England, the United States has had a lot of English influences. We took the tune of this song and wrote the Star Spangled Banner, and we took the tune of God Save the Queen and wrote My Country Tis Of Thee. I think it was just an epic kick in the butt to England.
