This was the American national anthem from 1777 to 1931

[@anti-loganpaul7827]

@Adolf Hitler Yes

[@caseclosed9342]

1789-1931

[@snookindustriesproductions4166]

It was never the national anthem.

[@Central_Intelligence_Agency_]

@@snookindustriesproductions4166 It was the unofficial anthem. But it was used at diplomatic missions and large events.

Our 1ST Anthem! 🇺🇸💯% !!!

[@mr.clanni9930]

It’s now VPs song

[@1812AndMore]

This would be a wonderful candidate for an American anthem, even as a Canadian it makes your blood run cold ;)

[@jackthomson1951]

1812AndMore Actually, up until 1931, it was a de facto-anthem of ours!

[@jackjones2361]

1812AndMore it was until 1931

[@BCLife231]

Too bad the Americans composed it first. How about a Confederate song for you like the Bonnie blue flag

[@bumperbonnie5721]

I'd prefer if it was the "If we don't burn you, I'll be damned" for the confederates here

And was depicted in the John Adams series. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIOqlWZjiLOWatE

If I remember correctly, this our Mational Anthem prior to The Star Spangled Banner in the 1930's to 1940's.

I am imaging Pence walking into that building.

[@Lafayette320]

Eventually, this became the U.S. Vice President's anthem. It was first played at the Inaguration of Spiro T. Agnew.

[@kommi7658]

Shouldn't they be wearing continental uniforms?

[@stephenn1056]

As I recall, it was the national anthem for quite some time, running straight through and past the civil war

[@paulnash6944]

It’s a Civil War reenactment.

[@RadioactivFly]

Is that a rotary valved trumpet?

[@eamonmcb8106]

Yes

[@jonathana.michaels8308]

Yes

[@pogmonke5217]

The worst year in American history 1932(the year the star spangled earrape became the American anthem).

[@dalekofdoom]

Two things: 1. The Star-Spangled Banner became the national anthem in 1931 2. A year is not considered a day

[@ernesthill2681]

At the risk of being pilloried, l must say l agree. Common sense should suggest that the first qualification for a National Anthem should be that it can be remembered and sung by ordinary citizens with no particular singing skills. The Star Spangled Banner doesn't meet that simple criteria. The meIody was originally was 18th century creation for a gentleman's club, 'an Anacreon to Heaven', llpopular with drunks who *thought* they sounded great. Secondly, if you read the lyrics in their entirety, some verses are vaguely insulting to our British cousins, once our enemy, but for over 200 years, our best friends, and most admirable allies. I would greatly prefer "America the Beautiful" or "My Country, 'tis of Thee" as our National Anthem. 😊🇺🇲☮
