Who is Uncle Sam?

Uncle Sam is a cartoon personification of The United States of America and the Federal Government. The symbol came into being on 7th September 1813 and became popular in the 1800’s when cartoonists drew many representations of Uncle Sam.

How Was Uncle Sam Created?

The name Uncle Sam came into existence during The War of 1812 when the beef barrels supplied to the U.S Army by Samuel Wilson were stamped ‘U.S’.

These barrels that represented food shipments for the United States’ soldiers became associated with Samuel Wilson and his nickname ‘Uncle Sam’. 

Gradually, Uncle Sam became synonymous with the United States of America and by 1900’s became a popular representation of the country.
