Star Spangled Banner Reading 1. Read the first stanza of the poem carefully and compare it with Reading 1. In what ways do you think it reflects what Major Armistead reported? In what ways, if any, does it differ? How can we trust the validity of Key's poem? 2. Next, read the other three stanzas. Summarize in your own words what they are saying. Why do you think few people sing them today? 3. Francis Scott Key was a member of a prominent white family that owned many slaves. Why do you think he saw no contradiction between his status as a slaveholder and his pride in the “land of the free”? 4. Why do you think it took so long for Key’s song to become the official national anthem of the United States? What were some of the reasons people had for opposing its designation? Do you think those objections were valid? (You are going to have to research the this answer) 5. Write your own "national anthem" or draw a picture based on your experiences today. How does it differ from Francis' Scott Key's?
