The flag that waved over Fort McHenry when it was bombarded, September 13-14, 1814, was a 15 star and 15 stripe flag. Two stripes and stars had been added to the original 13 on May 1, 1795. It became famous as The Star Spangled Banner. It was the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write our national anthem.
