First off, NEVER TRUST WIKIPEDIA, as 2 people who had earlier answered have suggested. And anyone who just puts the link to another website on their answer as their answer is just really lazy and just wants their 2 points.
Francis Scott Key was captured and was on a British ship in the War of 1812. The British ships attacked Fort McHenry all night, and in the morning, Francis saw the American flag still standing. This inspired him to write The Star-Spangled Banner, today's American national anthem.

I think its Francis Scott Key. He wrote the national anthem while watching a battle in Baltimore. It was origionally just a poem. He was a lawyer too
