The Star-Spangled Banner
Francis Scott Key, 1814
Betsy Ross Flag - never anofficial U.S. flag
First official U.S. flag - 177713 states
O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
1795 Flag - 15 states
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
1822 - 24 states
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
1837 - 26 states
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
1851 – 31 states
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
1877 - 38 states
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
1896 - 45 states
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
1912 - 48 states
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
1959 - present - 50 states
