The Battle of Fort McHenry: War of 1812

The War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain ultimately ended in stalemate. Yet in the aftermath of one U.S. victory, a poem was penned that would become the new nation’s national anthem.

The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
