Answer: The answer is:

Because it symbolizes the sacrifices american that american went through to preserve freedom.

Step-by-step explanation:

During a 24-hour British siege on a September night during the War of 1812, the flag flew over Fort McHenry, located in Baltimore, Maryland.

Francis Scott Key, who was a witness to the battle got inspired to write a poem, “The Defense of Fort McHenry”. This poem evolved into the American national anthem.

It was made by Mary Pickersgill.
