continue fightingWritten at Fort McHenry by Francis Scott KeyOh,
say can you see by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright
stars thru the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched 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.Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'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 in the stream:'Tis
the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it waveO'er the land of the
free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly sworeThat the havoc of
war and the battle's confusion,A home and a country should leave us
no more!Their blood has washed out of of their foul footsteps'
pollution.No refuge could save the hireling and slave'From the
terror of flight and the gloom of the grave:And the star-spangled
banner in triumph doth waveO'er the land of the free and the home
of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall standBetween their loved
home and the war's desolation!Blest with victory and peace, may the
heav'n rescued landPraise the Power that hath made and preserved 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 waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the
brave.

for independence)Native American resistance was
