What is the name of the National Anthem of the United States?

The National Anthem of the United States is titled "The Star-Spangled Banner." This song was written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812, inspired by the sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry after a night of bombing. The anthem captures the resilience and spirit of the American people, symbolizing the struggle for freedom and the enduring nature of the nation. It officially became the national anthem in 1931, representing American patriotism and unity.

In contrast, the other choices are popular patriotic songs but do not hold the official status of the national anthem. "God Bless America" is often referred to as a second national anthem, while "America the Beautiful" and "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" are also cherished songs that celebrate the country but are not designated as the National Anthem.
