Answer (1 of 10): It is a reference to cowards and appeasers. The song commemorates the war of 1812, praising the heroes who fought to defend the flag. Each verse ends praising “The land of the free and the home of the brave” The third verse reads — And where is that band who so vauntingly sw...

The answer to this question is not quite as simple as some suppose. If you read the lyrics written by Francis Scott Key, you find that in the third stanza he makes a disparaging reference to the “hireling and slave” who is fighting against the United States. This is generally believed to be a reference merely to British soldiers serving for whatever miserable wage the Crown offered. But it could also be a reference to the Corps of Colonial Marines. These were black men — free men or runaway slaves — who joined the British forces who invaded the Chesapeake Bay region in 1814. (美國國歌於 1814 年寫成) The British promised to give them their freedom in exchange for their service. Several hundred men served in the corps, and the British commanders thought rather highly of them.
For his part, Key was a member of a Maryland slaveholding family. As a lawyer, he handled many cases involving slavery. While he obtained freedom for some enslaved persons, as a policy matter he was strongly opposed to the abolition of slavery.
So what was he talking about in the “Star-Spangled Banner?”? White Brits or black Americans, or both? He never said.
Fortunately, no one ever sings the later stanzas of the song. Hopefully, that is enough to smooth over any hard feelings about the “hireling and slave.”

美国国歌是战场背景的。想来美国狗大兵也是哼着来加拿大侵门踏户的，结果被揍得抱头鼠窜。

Battle of Baltimore - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Royal Navy and Royal Marines also occupied American coastal islands and landed military forces for raids along the coast, especially around the Chesapeake Bay, encouraging enslaved blacks to defect to the Crown and recruiting them into the Corps of Colonial Marines.[13][14][15]

Burning of Washington - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

1812-1814 美國第二次獨立戰爭，對手自然是殖民宗主英軍。英軍陣營中包括了叛變為自由身的美國黑奴，以及南下的加拿大軍隊的前身。｢加軍｣是為了報復1813 年美軍搶燒多倫多議會與民房。這次戰爭中加拿大英裔與法裔(天主教，反美國新教)有共同的敵人美軍，打的是加拿大人的存亡之戰，立國之戰。

英軍在 1814 年八月攻陷華盛頓，也就是有名的、至今仍津津樂道的｢加軍｣火燒白宮。

這是美國首都唯一一次被外國軍隊攻陷，而｢加拿大人｣也給解放黑奴事業掺上一腳，帶來一線曙光！

同年九月十四日星條旗詩歌在巴爾地摩寫成。當中的 slave 影射加入英軍黑奴的可能性相當高。

Where’s the Debate on Francis Scott Key’s Slave-Holding Legacy?

During his lifetime, abolitionists ridiculed Key’s words, sneering that America was more like the “Land of the Free and Home of the Oppressed”

www.smithsonianmag.com

In 1814, Key was a slaveholding lawyer from an old Maryland plantation family, who thanks to a system of human bondage had grown rich and powerful.

When he wrote the poem that would, in 1931, become the national anthem and proclaim our nation “the land of the free,” like Jefferson, Key not only profited from slaves, he harbored racist conceptions of American citizenship and human potential. Africans in America, he said, were: “a distinct and inferior race of people, which all experience proves to be the greatest evil that afflicts a community.”

Ironically, while Key was composing the line "O'er the land of the free," it is likely that black slaves were trying to reach British ships in Baltimore Harbor. They knew that they were far more likely to find freedom and liberty under the Union Jack than they were under the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
