 * 7)President Jefferson made a law that said nobody in the USA could trade with any other countries. He did that because the US was having problems trading with out countries. This was is called the Embargo Act.**
 * 8)The Embargo did not work. The act caused the USA to loose money. To take the place of the Embargo Act, Jefferson passed the Non-Intercourse Act. This act said Americans could trade, just not with Britain and France.**
 * 9)In America, the British, Native Americans and Americans were fighting over land. The Native Americans said that the USA took their land. The British wanted the US to stop getting larger and more powerful, so they gave the Native Americans supplies to fight the Americans. They hoped the Native Americans would regain their land.**

 * 25)After a long fight, the British finally got tired and left.**
 * 26)While Francis Scott Key was watching the battle from the ship,he was amazed by the bombs and rockets in the air. He decided to write a poem about what he say.**
 * 27)As the ships left, the Americans celebrated because they were still a nation.**
 * 28)After the celebration another battle occured. This was the Battle of New Orleans, which the US won. After the US won this battle a peice treaty was signed and the war was over.

29)In the beginning, everyone doubted the USA. Nobody thought they would survive as a nation. After the war of 1812, the rest of the world really started to believe in the new country. Our flag is such a meaningful symbol to all Americans because it shows how far we have come as a country.**

Lyrics to SSB O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?
 * 29)In 1931 the poem Francis Scott Key wrote was turned into our national anthem. It is known as the star spangled banner.**

23)Your interpretation 30)Can you see that the sun is coming up We proudly fought the battle until the sun went down And our flags stars and stripes waved throught the night From Fort McHenry we watch the bombs and rockets in the air The rockets were red in the sky and bombs were bursting above The light let us see that our flag survived the battle And our flag is strong and still stands We are still a free land and we are still brave
