The Second War for Independence (War of 1812)Slide2

AP PARTS

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, now conceals, now 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; O long may it wave O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!Slide3
