It's The Star Spangled Banner. It was written during the War of 1812 by Frances Scott Key. It has four verses, though most Americans barely even know the first one.
O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through 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;
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen thro’ the mist 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 on the stream
’Tis the star-spangled banner. Oh! long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation,
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n-rescued land
Praise the Pow’r 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 wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

so a good distance as i will tell, there are not any similarities in any respect between them:- (a million) One is in French, the different is in English (2) The French nationwide anthem - l. a. Marseillaise - is in 4/4 time; celeb Spangled Banner is in 3/4 time (3) The music to celeb Spangled Banner grew to become into written by an Englishman, even nevertheless the words have been written to commemorate an incident in a conflict with Britain. i would be unable to work out the French ever swallowing their nationwide music being written by a foreigner - much less an Englishman!! (4) celeb Spangled Banner celebrates the belief of peace; l. a. Marseillaise is rather an orgy of blood-letting! (5) l. a. Marseillaise grew to become into written 24 years in the previous than celeb Spangled Banner and grew to become into accompanied simply by fact the solid nationwide anthem around one hundred fifty years in the previous than celeb Spangled Banner - whether l. a. Marseillaise grew to become into banned numerous cases by successive French governments throughout the time of its history.
