A FEW OF THE DIFFERENCES
* The French Anthem expresses more anger and hatred against it's oppressors while the US Anthem tells more of how our flag was still standing for our cause.
* The French Anthem seems to tell it from a soldier's view while the US anthem tells it from an American lawyer's view point.
* The French Anthem was inspired by the call for a song to rally the soldiers, while the US Anthem was inspired by the American victory of Fort McHenry after a 25 hour bombardment.
I think the French Anthem reflects the French Revolution because it tells of what they were fighting for, it tells of their anger because of their oppressors, it strongly expresses their opinions, thoughts, it expressed their patriotism to their country, and helped rally the soldiers when times were hard.
I think the US Anthem reflects the American Revolution because it tells of what we fought for, it expresses what was going on, and it tells of the patriotism of our soldiers.
